Edit:

Core:  Often buying Call of Duty and a sports game along with a couple others.

Hardcore:  buys more than 6 games a year.  Will often buy more fringe games with cult followings.

Casual: buys one or two titles a year.  CoD/Sports game/ Motion gaming/ music gaming.  What ever is popular at the time

 

Nintendo gamers are really a different breed.  Not a core in the overall gaming sense but there is definetly the core nintendo gamer who is reliable to pick up Mario, Zelda, Smash, MK, Metroid, ect.  


Here's how I see it:-

Casual - Plays every so often. Interested in games which are easy to pick up and play. Think mobile and party games that can be enjoyed with family and friends.

Core - Plays more (advanced) games. The; Tomb Raiders, Halo's, Call of Duty's, Assassins Creed's, Zelda's etc.

Hardcore - People who spend hours upon hours on a particular game. Think World of Warcraft or Call of Duty players who rack up days/weeks of play time.
