If there was no physical version of them before today and someone released checkers, chess, solitare or scrabble it is likely that people would debate whether they're really games. Back at E3 2004 (I believe) Nintendo talked about how they were moving away from making "Videogames" into producing "Interactive Entertainment." Personally, I think their distinction was because "Videogames" has become too narrow of a definition focusing too heavily on existing genres.
