Are the "hardcore gamers" the ones who drove the Xbox and Xbox 360 success? If so, then they are very relevant to Microsoft even if they don't think so.

If the "hardcore gamers" are not the reason for those consoles' successes, then no, hardcore gamers aren't relevant.

MS knows they need the hardcore gamers for their launch process and they leave them hanging towards the middle and end of the generation. They never were a consistent company in the two gens they've been around. They are hoping to god though that this kinect/Xbox combo thing takes off in America again.
