10-20 hours a week is a lot of gaming. Was it suggested that was a small amount and not worth the investment to have an actual machine? 10-20hrs over a month is more in the realm of streaming imo.

Quick math -
Xbox Cloud Gaming gives you 50 hours for $12. You could game for 3333 hours to equal the Xbox Series X in price ($800). Say you want to depreciate the device over 7 years, that's about 500 hours of gaming a year, or ~9-10 hours a week.
I'd say that's a pretty reasonable limit for a low volume, casual gamer.
That heavily assumes MS does not increase the price, which has been proven to be false when they increase Gamepass price in the past.
The average American watches 4 hours of TV per day!!!
Half of all Americans watch more…..
TV can be passively watched though while you do other things. Gaming has to be actively engaged with
"Average" probably means the mean here, not the median. So it's not half who watch more than that. There's probably a big gap between the mean and the median. Nobody publishes the median because that number is published by the ad industry which has no interest in showing the lower median.
Is that statistic active watching, or skewed by those that leave it on 24h news or shopping or whatever 24/7?
