Definitely. The gaming industry has been booming for years; now you have entire generation(s) that have been raised on video games. And as the population gets more computer literate (i.e. the Internet continues to grow in influence, computer classes become even more prevalent in schools, etc.) the industry will only continue to grow. This debate about story and narrative in games is actually long overdue; this study should have come out 5 - 10 years ago (original BG1, etc.).
