if a gamer spent $60 for the game, an additional $20 per month for loot micro-transaction boxes and played around 2.5 hours a day for one year, it comes out to roughly 40 cents per hour of entertainment. This compares to an estimated 60 cents to 65 cents per hour for pay television, 80 cents per hour for a movie rental and more than $3 per hour for a movie watched in a theater

Not a bad argument if gamers only bought one or two games per year. But most gamers buy multiple games.

He also excluded a lot of other costs such as the console/PC, controllers, PSN/Xbox live subscriptions, etc.

His numbers are flawed.
