Most people banter around the term "hardcore" as a target audience for a video game. It seems that a big problem with that label is that truly "hardcore" gamers tend to play a wide variety of games. Also, it seems that the "hardcore" crowd is also the "old school" crowd who have been playing games for quite a while.

IMO: If a person only plays FPS and sports games, they are not a "hardcore" gamer is this context.
