I got this from this site that the types of gamers can now be divided into a “game elite” and “light gamers”. They were identified by veteran game designer Masanobu Endo, known for such titles as Druaga (both game and anime) and director of “Game Studio” and the “Digital Games Research Association Japan,” in a presentation he made to audiences at the recent CEDEC 2010.
Game Elite | Tendency | Light Gamer |
Enjoys strategising themselves | Strategy | Likes reading hint books whilst playing |
Likes to clear games quickly | Time | Doesn’t like to play under time constraints |
Likes to play at their own pace | Time | Doesn’t want to spend too much time on each game |
Likes sophisticated controls | Control | Complex controls = boring |
Buys on release day | Purchase | Buys when free to do so |
Game magazines | Info | Friends |
Discount stores or Amazon | Budget | Buys normally if they can’t get it for free |
Excitedly waits through loading | Loading | Long load = off |
Likes games (also anime and comics) | Interests | Interested in games amongst other things |
Must play to be satisfied | Play | Satisfied just to watch others play |
Virtual | Love | Real |

Light Gamer:
May be female
Often young
Has little time for games
Email is more important to them than games
Won’t install
If you ask me what type of gamer i am, that would be a Game Elite, Since I like playing games much even I'm at work hehe. Anyway it up to who decide to be a Game elite or Light Gamer or not a gamer at all.
