What is a 'Core' Gamer? Is it defined by how much time you spend playing? How much money is spend on this hobby? Is it determined by what types of games are played?

I see speedrunners spend hours a day playing Mario, Metroid, Zelda and the like. If there is such a thing as 'Core' Gamer, I think speed runners can be counted as 'Core' Gamers more then anyone.

I define core anything that isn't casual, I.E. grandma playing Wii Sports once a month for a year and then never playing another game again. That would be casual. If you're a "gamer", like all of us, you are core in my opinion. 

Which as a result means Nintendo is actually quite adept in appealing to core gamers, they did it with Wii, DS and Switch.
