hardcore gamers have all consoles...

You could be hardcore for one company though.

It goes both ways.  Nintendo's been around far longer than the other manufacturers on the market, though, so you could say if you're a hardcore Nintendo fan then you're a "true" hardcore gamer. ;)

They've out-lasted Sega, Atari Jaguar, Toshiba, Bandai WonderSwan, Neo Geo, and they're currently going more than toe-to-toe with Sony and Microsoft.  Pretty amazing they've lasted this long.

but recently the definition of hardcore is first person shooter...

i didnt even like medal of honor when i was younger XD

A hardcore gamer is a gaming hobbyist. They can have one or all console, depends on how much you put in. Its as simple as that.

hardcore = can play competitively

No, thats just called a competitive gamer. Hardcore games are titles created for the hobbyist gamer who expects more from games story/lengthy gameplay/smart ai/ a challenge, etc.
