That is a highly skewed and very small poll. Only 500 people were surveyed in one area (the Seattle-Tacoma area) and of them, only 45% (roughly 225 people) were shown to even play Video Games at all. That's hardly a good indication of the US at large. That's like going to a public high school and taking a survey and saying the majority of kids in America play World of Warcraft because 50% of kids in one School surveyed said they did. Its weak news casting like this that shows why print media is dying, because people only read the headline and take it by its word.
Ranting aside, I don't forsee myself stoping from playing games in the future. Even if I scale back from playing games, I still see myself trying to play the games I really want to play the most. Metroid, Dragon Quest, Mario, etc. I'll still find the time to play them between work, relationships and everything else life throws at me. Just like I'm doing now. I've already been cutting down the amount I play games compared to when I was a kid.
