A hardcore gamer, or whatever you would like to call it, would at least require a dedicated gaming machine of some sort. They would also regularly dedicate some of their free time for the purpose of gaming, because they enjoy it so much.
I think that pretty much sums it up.

This is the first reply I take issue with, this would mean only the well off PC players can be hardcore. 

No no, you misunderstand. I meant any gaming machine, not just a PC. But a phone does not count, because it's not primarily a gaming machine.
