Videogames as a whole won't be considered 'art' by the general populace. There may be a select few now and then who can possibly approach it, but it doesn't fit in the same category as paintings or architecture.
Art presents itself the same way to everyone. You may feel differently about the presentation than someone else, but you still see and experience the same thing that everyone else does.
Games are not like that. The interactivity in it means that not everyone will witness the exact same presentation, and if you don't have the appropriate skills for certain games you won't even see it to completion.
Games do not fit inside the classified box of 'art'. Rather, the 'Art box' is a part of the game. You have elements of art within a game, but the experience is so much more than just art.
Then, there is the word 'art' that describes proficiency in a skill. Certainly, one can have the 'art of making a game', but that's a different kind of art, which is still a small part of the bigger picture of Games.
