Data about local multiplayer functionality in games is highly underreported, so all datasets are incomplete and don’t take into consideration retro and indie games that would have a considerable impact on the results.
That said, according to the dataset gathered by the website Co-optimus (also incomplete but with more than 1000 games), there's a clear peak in local multiplayer games around the 7° generation of consoles coinciding with the popularization of online multiplayer games on consoles like the PS3 and XBOX 360.
