2. Life, mostly. Just careers and family seem to take up most of the time that people used to have to play.
3. Probably the escapism of them. The ability to "do" things not possible within the real world, and the stories involved.
4. Not really, I'm responsible enough to make sure all important things are taken care of before I sit down to game. Also, I feel as if I am actually accomplishing something, as opposed to just sitting there staring at a TV doing nothing.
5. I don't have children, so I still have ample amounts of free time to do things, so finding the time to game isn't a problem.
6. More than likely the original Wii. Young me would have been amazed at being able to play all of the previous generation Nintendo games on a single system. Plus, motion control would have been neat as well.
7. I hope so. I've been gaming for close to 30 years now, and I don't see myself ever stopping. I think I'd finally get around to my backlog of RPG's that I've never touched.
