Reggie “really chafes” when people say Wii lost the hardcore

[Jumpin]

I don't really like the term "hardcore gamer" because that's a contradiction of terms.

In order to be a "hardcore gamer" you have to spend hours and hours on playing videogames (and not active games like Just Dance, or Wii Sports - but rather games like World of Warcraft), and I don't think anyone normal would define a person who spends hours and hours a day playing videogames as hardcore, They would be defined as lazy; like a couch potato.

There's no such thing as a hardcore gamer, only people who think they are hardcore gamers.


Another thing, all I ever hear is about "hardcore" and "casual" gamers as though they are the only two types. What about average gamers? You know, people who are dedicated to the hobby, but don't take it overboard and waste their lives away playing games. I would say that average gamers are the most common type of gamer. I do think this is true about DS/3DS and Wii fans at least.
