I don't think the terms work too well, because hardcore gamers can be anyone that is dedicated to a certain game for a certain period of time, when in reality it would more than likely to be someone who just plays all games, all the time, and is probably very into it.

Although, the term casual gamer is a little more correct for people that pick up a console and play for a little bit maybe every couple days, everyone once in a while.
