Not to sound cynical, but the main difference between the core and non-core gamer is spending habits, which are presumably directly linked to playing habits.
Core gamers simply spend more of their disposable income on gaming, as it tends to be one of their favorite, if not their absolute favorite form of entertainment.
There are very few individuals who will buy significantly more games than they are capable of playing, barring those working in the R&D sector of the industry who frequently buy any notable titles on any platform as a measuring guage for their own works in progress. The pile of games to be demo'ed can add up pretty fast.
Note the distinction of the word "buy" as people who collect and hoard warez contribute nothing to the industry and often acquire softs they have little or no intention of actually using.
But of course there are always those who simply don't want to have to pay for their entertainment at all, or feel that soft developers are merely charitable, non-profit organizations who invest millions in products they don't actually expect anyone to pay for. Because that would be crazy.
