I don't really like the term hardcore. It has meaning, in terms of how much time and energy a particular gamer devotes to playing a game or games in general. Hardcore/casual games have some meaning too, but meh. Both these things are opposite ends of a spectrum that in reality is a bell curve (like most every other thing in existence).
I use the term traditional gaming more than anything else. What turned me off this gen, especially for both Nintendo's gaming offerings, was the turn away from traditional gaming. I don't enjoy motion gaming, it just does not work for a large majority of games. Almost every game that has motion controls that i've tried, on all 3 consoles, could have been better without them. The DS irks me for other reasons, and by extension the 3DS, but i've harped on that too much in other posts.
So far all the non-traditional games i've tried and seen has been a major disappointment.
