I have been reading your posts about this and This is my opinion in the matter. I think there is a distinction between hardcore and casual.
I think hardcore is when people play game that has Highscores, ranks, levels, skills, character upgrades, or anything to that effect. A casual game would be like a "minigame" type such as flash games on the internet, mario party, or games made by third party companies like disney or pixar. There are some that are in the middle such as Super Smash Bros Brawl or Racing games that you can play casually or Hardcore. With hardcore everytime you play you are working towards one goal such as getting the top rank, top skill, top level...etc and that goal never changes.
Casual game has one goal everytime you play which is to win the current game you dont care about the next game you will play or the game before. So yes I think there is a distinction but a pretty obvious one.
edit: better?
