:: Beyond that, gamers are smarter, more likely to go to college, have more friends, read more, and get better-paying jobs than non-gamers. ::
Possibly because the parents that can afford gaming systems also have the opportunity to live in an environment where activities such as "reading", "going to college", and "getting a high paying job" are more commonplace?
I would wager than players of physical sports exhibit better coordination, but do not on average exhibit the same qualities listed above. I believe this is one subculture's attempt to justify hours spent in front of the screen.
Out of curiosity, do these "friends" they have so many of go by names like aCiDbUrn and z3rOk3wL?
