To bad whatever source you got your info from more than likely counts playing casual games as gaming.

But couldn't you also consider the person who owns the Wii and only plays Wii Sports and Fitness as a casual gamer? Does that mean because your definition of a gamer, you do not count the owner of the Wii as a Gamer and thus means that they should not be listed in the list stating which is most played? Same can be said for the people who all they do is sit down and play 1 vs 100 all day long on Xbox Live.If someone plays a popcap game every once in a while, they should not be in a thing like this, at least with a wii you have to9, you know, actually buy a wii, everyone and there mother already owns a pc.
Now if thoise stats were relating to gaming pcs maybe it would actually mean something, as it stands it could be counting people playing solitaire, and if you need to count that you need to rethink your support.
A gamer is a person who play a Video game. It does not state that it has to be a $60 investment per game to be considered one. Sure, Popcap and other browser based games may not have the same model as many big budget game but they do make money and are technically video games.As for the hardware, that is the beauty of PC Gaming. You can build/buy a computer for exactly the level of gaming you wish to do. If you only play browser based games, you will not be needed the same computer specs as a person who wants to max out Crysis. This means that almost all computers can be deemed "Gaming PCs". Now if you are referring to specific hardware, such as dedicated Video cards or higher end Processors then it would be hard to differentiate between Gaming PCs and Workstation PCs.
Either way, a person playing a casual game is just as much of a gamer as yourself.
