Thanks to the massive success of the Wii and DS game consoles, Nintendo was able to turn the tide and once again become the number one game company in the world. As with any honeymoon, however, it must come to an end at some point. Nintendo reported its financial results for the first half of 2009 yesterday, and it didn't look good.

Are you joking? Or do you mean that?
It's true! It's been proven that porn is more addictive than gaming because sex is a natural part of humanity.
Gaming feeds on some need for justice or truth or some violent tendency to shun evil or some other outward principle that a plotline is based on. Porn is based on a core instinct.

The hardware is generally less expensive, too. At least the entry level stuff. And even mid-level, really. You can buy a couple of slings, a rack, and a couple of pair of (admittedly not top quality) hand-cuffs for the price of an entry-level gamer system these days. Not that I pay close attention, anymore. I just have friends...
But I believe that the original terminology was "hardcore gamer". We're probably skewing things by introducing the concept of addiction, don't you think?
