Well, I agree with TV,,,,, in fact I don't even have cable, but I'd challenge you on reading.
YOU ARE RIGHT, before I go on though, that being a gamer, in and of itself, does not = you're a slacker, or you're dumb, or you won't be successful. Definately not. HOWEVER, those 3 categories of people along with other less desirable notations would be gamers before they were successful, and thus the population of gamers tends to have that kind of stigma, and a propensity to be geared towards it.
I mean, just on the forefront, I know what you're saying, and it's hard to argue that one is more mature or less mature. I couldn't prove in a court of law that gaming is less mature. However, if reading wasn't more mature then how is it that more mature people tend to read and less mature people tend to play video games?
For instance, I myself play considerably less than I did when I was 10 or 15, and I'm 32 now. I'll play a couple of hours when I've got seriously nothing better to do. I'm not a reader though, but I do write a lot, and I find other things like a tennis league I'm in more rewarding, and I learned to juggle (a bucket list item) if you want an alternative to reading. I guess what I'd say is more mature people tend to find gaming to be a last resort to other life interests, whatever those are.
