The only thing that's basically the same is the perspective, nothing more. Sure, it looks like an FPS, but that's it, it doesn't play like one.
The pacing is much different too, there's not much need for fast reflexes, quite to the contrary, you take your time, look around and plan your procedure.
Portal was a surprise hit anyway. No one knows how much it would've sold standalone instead of being bundled with the Orange Box.
