'hardcore' is about obsession really. It is a personal thing however you define it.
'core' is a marketing term. It means your central, loyal market for something.
They are completely different things and not to be confused. Nintendo always talks about 'core' and never (except occasionally by mistake) about 'hardcore'.
So, really it doesn't make sense to say you don't buy Nintendo's definition, because what they're defining isn't what you are looking for a definition of.
