"A Core Gamer is someone that spends a significant amount of money on games that have a large client and require fairly expensive hardware such as a dedicated game console or a PC. There is another category for High-spending, low end users which would be those that play browser/social network type games, even though they spend a lot of money. The core gamers can be split into multiple levels:
-
- Level 1 users are those that spend a lot on their game hobby ($1,000 or more a year for PC, $500 for console).
- Level 2 users are those that spend $50 or more."
"
- "Hardcore" PC gamers who spent more than $1000 in a year nearly doubled, reaching approximately 10 million total users (up from ~6m in the previous year).
- PC gamers who spent $50 or more were counted at roughly 85 million (up from ~72m the previous year).
- Console gamers who spent $500 or more (including hardware) numbered approximately 84 million (up from ~37m the previous year)).
- Console gamers who spent $50 or more numbered about 41 million (down from ~50m the previous year - many of these users migrated to the '$500 or more' category due to launches).
