If you need to ask, you aren't.
Just kididng, it doesn't really matter.
Are hardcore gamers good at games? Dedicated, but not neccisarily good.
Do hardcore gamers own a lot of games? Playing WoW 80 hours a week and owning nothing else?
Do hardcore gamers do 1,000 crunches a day? Wait, which core are we talking about?
Really, no one intelligent cares. Games are fun all around, and whether you play them 40 hours a week, 4 hours a week, alone, with 16 people online, with 16 people at a house, with a PC, with a Wii, with a PS3, with a 360, with an Atari, we're glad you enjoy one of our favourited past times, even if we disagree about what's more fun, better, prettier etc, we're still playing games.
So, off to bed little OP, there's nothing to worry about here.... *Pats OP's head and guides it out of the room gently* God damn noob. He'll never be hardcore.
See Ya George.
