With something else being another game. People don't switch interactive entertainment for non-interactive one.

Are there studies showing that? Switching seems perfectly natural. If a good game comes out I'll play that. If a good TV show comes out I'll watch that. And since my free time is limited, if I pick one it means I'm not doing the other.

Same for me; though I prefer to play an old game than watch new TV quite often.

The TV show end, multiplayer games don't.
