It depends on how you play them and how serious you play them imho.

Depends on how much is wat really matters.

I think video gaming has broken some of the major stereotypes in recent years and is becoming a major hobby for mostly men, but also a minority of women.

And the US is a lot larger than most of those other listed countries, meaning even though the percentage of the total is less, the amount of people who are obese in total as a number is greater than the total number of obese people in those other countries.

Percentage doesn't mean anything, what if a country had 2 people in it, 1 was obese, that's already 50% of the population that can be held accountable for that obesity rank.

It is a big waste of time because you dont really accomplish anything besides a pixel in a game.

It has only affect my sleeping habit and sometimes my social life but im starting to play less and focus more in my life.

What would you say about other entertainment medias like TV then?

For example, there are two men, one of which plays 3 hours of videos games a day and the other man who watches 3 hours of TV a day. The man that is playing video games is socially interacting through a microphone, with people in almost all mainstream games these days; the other does not.

Playing video games also gives a sense of accomplishment when achievement are finished and gives you the opportunity to meet a variety of people.

Ultimately, going out with friends is better than playing videos games, however, playing video games is better than most forms of entertainment within a household.

It's just another form of entertainment. Apparently playing WoW is a much cheaper hobby for poorer people of America because it's only $10 a month compared to much bigger cable bills or other hobbys such as club memberships.

I don't believe that video gaming is childish or a bad habit, it's a nice hobby to have. However, if someone truly has an addiction to gaming, where it takes away from their life, then I can see how some would view it as a poor interest choice.
