Hmm.. what about the "social" gamer, a subset of casual gamers. The gamer who will only play a game when they're around friends at home, maybe with a few beers. For example our flat (house) with 5 guys living there we've pretty much got every sports sim under the sun, but only ever play them when someone's around or if we have free time (rarely).
As for myself I used to be hardcore when I was in highschool, but I diversified and found music, arts, work, poetry and other things. I suppose gaming's become less and less a part of me. Now I guess I'm a devoted, casual gamer.. I don't play often but I've still got very broad knowledge and always know what's going on in the gaming scene. I also have the devotion to my console of choice (sony) and certain games like final fantasy, tekken, soul calibur, need for speed, gran turismo, suikoden. And also have retained and every now and then brush up on my skills so I would probably be able to beat your average gamer in most games.
