People also forget how much gaming actually costs. You've got a TV already, but now you have to spend anywhere from $200 to $600 to get a console. Closer to $1000 if not more for a gaming PC or laptop. 

Then there's the cost of games. $60 for 12 hours of content, where that would get you 3 months of premium Netflix with thousands of hours content. 

Some people just aren't gonna start gaming out of nowhere, especially when the cost of entry is so damn high.

I own a gaming laptop from Acer that I paid like $500 for 3 years ago that goes from shutdown to playing WoW beautifully in less than a minute. Gaming PCs have come a long way.
