Most "gamers" have only heard of COD, Ninty's popular titles, Assasin's Creed, Halo, Resident Evil, Disgaea, sports rehashes and a few other hugely popular franchises.
Just last week, my roommate walked in on me playing Tales of Graces F. His comment "what the hell kind of game is that...some Japanese anime s@#$?" My roommate is what I'd call a "mainstream gamer"
People typically think there are two kinds of gamers: casual and hardcore but they are very wrong. There are actually 3 kinds of gamers IMO:
1. Casuals: Folks who play games but are scared of using a traditional controller. "How do I remember all the buttons?" is a statement you can expect from this crowd. They are sold on non-traditional controls i.e motion, touchscreen, etc and simplistic "quick fix" kinds of games. These folks are most of the population
2. Mainstream gamer: Most of the dudebros fit here. this goes for those who only play Halo, COD, GTA, Assassin's Creed, Typical Sports titles, Some nintendo faithful, etc. these folks are more than hardcore gamers.
3. Hardcore Gamer: These folks play anything and are passionate about gaming. The backbone of the industry. These are the kinds of people you would see spending significant time on gaming forums. If said gamer has heard of a series like "Disgaea" or "hyperdimension Neptunia", whether they have played the games or not, they're most likely hardcore. These are the fewest but most reliable customers.
Just my 2 cents...

Hardcore = Disgaea = CoD, Halo, sports games, etc = Mainstream Gamer = Most gamers = Casuals

Edited my original post. Didnt meam to call disgaea a "popular title" I was thinking faster than I was typing. happens all the time

Wow, I'm hardcore then! I have no clue in hell what the second title neptune is though. Is there anymore games to test my hardcoreness?
