I have seven. Oldest turns 13 and youngest turns 3 this summer.

At daytime I mostly play multiplayer with my kids and/or off-TV with Wii U or on 3/2DS. If I play games that require you to sit in front of a TV extended periods of time (like Xenoblade Chronicles X), I usually play it when the smaller kids have gone to sleep.
I/we have roughly a dozen games consoles, five of my kids have smartphones and two oldest have computers on top of that, so when needed, pretty much everyone can play when they want to.

I am very impressed that you find time to play Xenoblade Chronicles X with SEVEN kids. I was able to beat that one before we had a new baby but I can't imagine how many hours it would say after I beat it. When I beat FF 15, I was at like 115 hours. Probably 45 hours of actual playing and the rest from being in the menu with the tv turned off while I await my next chance to play.

Well, the off-TV play is to thank, so I don't need to wait while TV being turned off. And, when you have that many kids, they learn to wait their turn and learn that not everyone needs to do the same thing that someone else does. Some things just ARE easier with seven kids than one or two.

Although, sometimes it's been 2 at night I've got to bed because of playing the game. 

But, I would've had more time to play the game if my second oldest kid didn't like the game that much, he's played it roughly as much as I have.
