Game-playing kids read more?

An interesting read from "Generation M: Reports on Kids and Multimedia": Young people today are media-saturated, spending an average of 61/2 hours a day with all kinds of media, especially multimedia. "Heavy video game use does not mean less reading - in fact heavy game players seemed to read more and spend more time with their parents (see full report for details of this)- but there seem to be some mixed results. Children with the poorest grades, had the lowest times spent reading (no surprise), but also spent more time each day playing video games."
