Real content

Two things:

1) When the book with really interesting content come out - these hopeless-computer-addicts immediately left their playstations and started to read.

Moral: Content is the most powerful driver. Not media. Not pretty graphics. Content.

2) So what is that content hidden in videogames? What makes them more interesting than books and movies?

I don't quite know how to explain this; it's just a feeling. There is definitely a world BEHIND every half-decent book; yet some books are just linear paths through a world, while other books have complexity and divergence for the reader. Maybe my feeling comes from somewhere else and is irrelevant here...

Feelings are usually more relevant than logic :)

I think I can understand what you mean by this world-versus-path impression.
