1 in 3 British men would prefer to play video games than sleep with their partner, with 72% claiming they'd shun their missus for the night to play a new release.
From a study of 1130 British men, of those in relationships, 32% that said they would prefer to play video games gave reasons ranging from their "partner being hard to please" to the prospect being "not as much fun" as gaming.
Further cementing the sad truth about video game addiction in the British male, 41% said if they were given £50, they'd spend it on a video game.
The research was carried out by PlayStation3 site, www.PS3pricecompare.co.uk, a specialist independent price comparison website that claims it can help find the cheapest new consoles and games.

So, is this a true representation of the opinions of most gamers . Also, I noticed it didn't include the opinions of female gamers, which is a shame .
I'm female , and I'll be honest, I have in the past played blind to a partners attentions, not because I prefer gaming to sex, but because I was halfway through a difficult mission that had taken me quite some time to organise . In an ordinary situation, I would of course pick sex over gaming.
However, I also have a gamer boyfriend . Now, we don't live together, in fact, he lives a 5 hour train journey away . I often get turned down for skype calls and webcam nudity because he's playing in full screen - and you know what, I don't mind too much . I'm going to visit him tomorrow, and I fully expect him to be preoccupied with gaming at least some of the time (his latest obsession is warhammer, which sadly my PC won't run, so we can't play together) and I'm actually looking forward to attempting to distract him while he's playing in various ways, especially as he usually plays while in voice calls with other friends that play .
So, given the choice, gaming or sex ? Does it depend on what game you're playing, what kind of sex is on offer, or on the current situation in game ? I'm curious :)
