Your 'hypothesis' is tested under completely unscientific circumstances.

1) You are conducting your research on a gaming enthusiast website

2) You have not defined 'gamer' -- is it any game, or videogames in particular?

3) Lifelong? Do you know for a fact the rest of your life?

4) Although there ought to be certain correlation between previous exposure to videogames, it is unlikely that you assign a primary role to video games, as video games per se: I can also claim that people become lifelong mobile phone users if exposed early and the available data would likely confirm my hypothesis -- but the hypothesis itself is meaningless because it simply describes the relatively recent of mobile phone useage.
