OP, I have the same concern as you. I used to love playing games when I was younger and was a huge fan of console games. But now that I've "grown up", it seems that I no longer have time for all the great titles that keep coming out. I still pre-order and buy them because I've been wanting to play them, but it seems like I just can't bring myself to sit down, get off of the computer, and play my games like I used to. They are mostly just lying around in my house along with my PS3, Wii, 3DS, and PS Vita.
Perhaps it could be because our attention spans are now shorter because of how the Internet rewires our brain (read The Shallows by Nicholas Carr if you're interested in this topic) that we can no longer spend long amounts of time reading, playing games, or just focus on one activity.
