I'm not knocking sales, especially the ones that have games I already want. I'm knocking my dumb, knee-jerk response to them.
I don't necessarily experience most media of any sort beyond entertainment, unless it's a very specific, gripping work. I still felt I was in a game in TLoU, but REVII nearly gave me a heart attack in a way movies just can't do. But then, nothing can get me inside a character's head as well as a book, and movies/TV have been my favorite visual medium for a while. They're great because they are easy to experience, but sometimes cause you to think about hard subjects.
Basically, I really don't see any medium as "better" than another, but different with different strengths. Honestly, if there's one medium that speaks to me more than any other, it's music, which I realize is part of most of those other mediums.
