The analogy is interesting but I'm not totally convinced. Hardcore gamers are still very much the core of the market, sure there are many more casual gamers than core but the core buy a lot more games. This will probably change but for the moment hardcore gamers haven't quiet developed that outsider status that hipsters try so hard for.
I am reminded of this video though

I think there may be a growing number of gaming hipsters I just think they probably don't
fit neatly into the traditional hardcore gamer demographic.
