Remember, it could be worse.

That being said, I bet you're usually in front of the tv while he's at his video game... well, in this day and age, video games are like top budget hollywood releases except that YOU ARE IN IT... personally, as a guy, I much prefer COD to a new war movie, or Assassin's Creed 2 to a new American Ninja movie (I have no idea why I liked those movies).

So he could be parked in front of the tv watching a movie instead, and you'd feel better about that somehow because he'd be sitting next to you. Instead he's just interacting with his entertainment now rather than sit mindlessly next to you.
