You also forget all the studies that say robotic surgeons that grew up gaming have something like a 40% faster learning curve in new robotics technology.
Also don't forget that one of the latest Army UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) with a 50 cal used an augmented Xbox 360 controller because after massive ammounts of testing they figured that a majority of individuals already were comfortable with the XBOX controller. Making them able to learn the controls much faster.
Won't be long before some kid will be launching warheads through video games (Wargames anyone).
