Depends on how you look at games as a form of entertainment.

If you see them as long term investments that you intend to give hundreds or thousands of hours of your time, then yes I agree with your stance.

But if you see games more like an expendable medium that gives you a couple of hours of entertainment before they grow stale, like watching a movie, then it's a different thing.

Of course, games are one and the other and many things between. This is one of the fascinating things about the medium — it has much greater variety than "movies", for example.
