This discussion reminds me of another one, where some Respawn devs were discussing the possibility of streaming becoming mainstream/ubiquitous in the future and negatively affecting video game design.
Shooters weren't mainstream in consoles 20 years ago...
Then again, I know many people who prefer slower-paced games, since they've become older and their reflexes aren't as good as they used to be.
Increasing AI difficulty is technically possible (even with the Jaguar CPU) and next-gen consoles will offer machine learning for even more sophisticated AI.
The question is, how would the average gamer feel if SP games became as difficult/annoying as PvP ones where you fight against "human AI"? Would they embrace the challenge?
