It is interesting you say that, because videogames are the only widespread
exception I can think of. Some kids will spend lots
of money in computer gear, and then spend a lot of time planing and leveling
their MMORPG characters into a build they like.
Maybe the fact videogames are interactive platforms make it easier than planing
the same character for a tabletop RPG.

But even then, I think hardcore gammers that achieve that level of dedication
are a shrinking group. Nowadays you get lots of
gamers that purchase games by the scores, play a bit of one, a bit of other,
and never get any good at any of them.
