single system per gen?

I've owned many consoles/handhelds in my lifetime. Mostly Nintendo though with the exception of Genesis (broke) and GameGear (sold). Then adapted PC gaming for third party favorites.

A "core" gamer should be someone that enjoys games and invests money/time/effort to play their desired titles no matter what console they own or what company they prefer.

Per Gen.

Okay, so is someone who buy 1 video game a year, but puts a lot of thought into which game they want to get, and maybe plays 5 hours a month, a core gamer?

P.S. I knew "Yes, with a PS3 specifically" would be a popular answer. Too many fanboys here

I would say no... 5 hour of gamplay per month (30 days) averages to 20 minutes each day. That is a causual gamer. And only buying/playing 1 game per year is limiting their gaming exprience.
