I don't think video games are the problem. I've always had a console in my house, and actually, I started reading more after I got my super nes. I can't really remember why or exactly when, but between 3rd grade and 5th grade I just started reading more and my grades have never depended on whether I read more or less, or I play more or less. They fully depend on how motivated I am to actually study and work. When I was mentally competing for best grades in math against the boy I liked (he didn't know I was trying to best him), I almost got a 100 on my report card. When I thought my chemistry teacher was pretty hot, you can bet I got the highest grade, even better than the Korean girl (who was the typical Korean girl that always gets the highest grades).
