Wired ports are not needed for gaming devices, at least for customers with Aruba wireless. The experience may be different with Ruckus Wireless, for instance.
We have been successfully running wireless-only dorms for many years. We are now deploying some wireless computer labs with dedicated APs & SSIDs for the computers because wireless is less expensive that wired access in that situation.
