Chiptunes can be so much more than blips and beeps:
No way is that 8-bit
actually all of the samples in that song are 8 bit, the video has a link to the .it file, you can check it yourself
MIDI in general encompasses all synthesized music though, including most video game music before this generation, so by that definition you'd be right.
most video game music has either been synthesized internally(chiptunes) or uses it's own format for playing notes and samples(more like a tracker module than a MIDI), and streaming audio really started to take over way before this generation
