A Gateway Drug for Literacy?

Do video games lead children to reading? An article in The New York Times suggests that some librarians, educators, publishers, etc. believe they do.

I agree that video games may foster certain types of learning and may help children acquire digital literacy skills; however, I'm skeptical that having a video game tournament at the library or bookstore will result in long lines of gamers at the check-out line.
