The fact is that being a "core" or "casual" gamer has nothing to do with what you play.  Watch the video of the guy who got a perfect score on Wii Play's Shooting Gallery sometime.  None of you (or me) can do that.  Not even close. 

Really, the lable is pretty stupid because people can be a "core gamer" and play any kind of game, but if you do want to have the lable it shouldn't matter what you play, it should matter how you play.  If you actually spend time reading game information and looking up future releases, you are probably a core gamer.  If you just buy what you saw advertised on TV yesterday, you probably aren't. 

The amount of people who actually do pay attention to gaming media and news is tiny, and they are divided reasonably equally among all the consoles.
