I think "real gamer" in this context means a gamer that is interested in buying new titles, not just playing old titles. That is, "real gamer" means that you're a viable target for the gaming industry to make money off of.

Someone who plays/develops games for a living. Most of the rest are casual gamers. Then there are game-addicts, who play most of their wake hours playing video-games.

No?
