Ye probably. I looked into what Nintendo does nowadays and luckely they seem to have not ditched their anachronistic cartridge design, even though there seem to be internet stores built in into "New 3DS". I guess they are opt in.

Internet store =/= algorithmically determined feeds programmed specifically to capture prolonged attention.

Traditionally, video games were addictive because the game was good. The gameplay, storyline, art, music, etc have a part in grabbing attention.
