QFT I think you could add another category - the technophile. These are early adopters of everything, but are not so much interested in gaming as they are in specs, which is what distinguishes them from the "hardcore gamer." They are the ones more likely to wonder how a system with 480p can beat one with 1080p and BRDVD. |
Back at you, QFT. I think those outside of gaming and the enthusiast (another gaming archetype, that was left out) often confuse Hardcore with the Technophile. The "Hardcore" are some of the worst gaming consumers, they buy very few titles, usually ones that score 9+. To me the real hardcore are the ones who play lots of different games and appreciate the effort that goes into making them. They are the ones who play the Katamaris, the Halos, and maybe even a sports game or movie game. The real hardcore like to play different types of games and play as many games as possible.
I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
