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.

I'm mostly cooking, cleaning, hanging out with the children, reading, and working while he's playing video games. I don't like TV and I never got the feel for video games. I will take watching a movie with him on occasion but I prefer talking and going places together and conducting the nuisances of a household with children together and having friends over to most other (brainless) activities.
Sure, it could be worse. But I wouldn't just accept those things any more than I'm willing to just accept this one. Maybe you prefer a girl that will accept what she does not like and, of course, that's always an option as is simply remaining single so you can do all the things you want to do on your own time.
A few hours during the week and a few hours a day on the weekends are not a big deal. But 20+++ hours a week is terribly annoying and unattractive. Would you want to be married to a chick who watched that much reality TV every week? Or would you just shrug and say, "Well, at least she's not on drugs."
