Before you recoil in disgust, let me note that I have read many many books and love reading. I value literature a lot but when it comes down to what I do in life and what things REALLY REALLY give me in the end, then books don't perform better than a range of selected video games (to my own gusto). In then end, a book doesn't propel to new positions more than a game does, unless it'sa book meant to teach me new technology or so.
It's simply another form of media, another form of story telling and conveying experiences. And while I enjoyed "Marc Aurel's Meditations" and took a lot of benefit out of it, Persona 5 also provided me with some good, memorable experiences that make me rethink life. Even just the "Take your time" loading screen spinner... If I put them on a scale it's simply even for me in value.
