Well, they're both equally devoid of diversity and production values. Sure there are a few rare exceptions, but both industries are driven by the idea of getting more for less effort.
In both cases, the industries put out a better ratio of quality/crap during the 80's and 90's. So I prefer my old NES/SNES/GENESIS/SATURN and a DVD Player
If i had the time to play more games and work at the same time i would pick games but i can work while watching tv so tv, but i can put anime on. In my spare time i play games like tekken and FF XIII-2.
