Hm...

My only home console ever is a Wii.
My top 3 games in terms of time played on the Wii are Mario Kart, Wii Sports and NSMB. Something like a thousand hours.
Not sure.

You sir are the reason "casual" and "hardcore" labels are meaningless. Bravo.

Actually no. He's a hardcore gamer, just a Nintendo hardcore gamer. Casual is a person who doesnt dedicate time to gaming, its just done in passing and they don't really care. A gamer is a hobbyist. Thousands of hours into one game is not casual in the slightest.

Hardcore games =/= Hardcore gamer. 

Hardcore gamer= Hobbyist

Hardcore games= Made for the hobbyist.

Casual games= Games made for people with a passing interest in gamers.

A hardcore gamer can play casual games, but hes/she is still a hardcore gamer.
