Anecdata, but my circle of friends spend about 20x as much time playing board and card (we're just getting into Bridge and... we may not need any other card games now?) games together as we do board games. Probably more like 40-50x if you count pen & paper RPGs. Our digital gaming is all solo stuff. If we play video games together it's almost always local coop, and probably "classic"—something on Gamecube (I assume Double Dash is considered "classic" by now), the Perfect Dark HD update on the XBox360, that kind of thing.
We're technically Millennials (though early ones). I went to my first convention this year (with one other person from same circle of friends) and it was for board games. It was social, it was fun, every single person I met there was awesome. I'll probably go to the same one next year. I'd never go to a video game con, however much I like video games.
