Exactly. Today it's a multi-billion dollar industry with gigantic, established companies as the biggest players. There's not going to be a crash because a few hardcore people are bored, no matter how much they secretly want one.

And I'm sorry, listing three similar games (hell, let's toss FEAR in there too) doesn't really impress me. You say that "people" are sick of them, but... most of them aren't. I mean, they sell well, and certainly represent a step up from previous generation action-oriented FPS (especially in presentation). And if people don't feel like playing one of the four horror-themed FPS to come out in the past couple years, there are many, many other games for them to choose from, spread out over many genres. The PS2 alone has over 2,000 titles available.
