Many video games tend to make people stay put in a place and hence are blamed for the rise in obesity since the person does not move around too much . And also the time used in playing such games can be used for other activities ,something more productive. However, there are also games in which the players have to move their bodies in order to simulate and control the game and thus can be counted as an activity. Some people say that this can't be termedas real physical activity and also that it does not have the same benefits while others see this as a good encouragement to move and stay active.
That was too long but hope it helped and you understood...XD
