I think it is interesting how hardcoe is being translated as FPS in this thread. I think of hardcoe as game driven. hardcoe is a loyal and devoted player who might even purchase other game related materials like books, stragety guides, statues, or even cosplay. hardcoe doesn't mean bad ass to me, and neither does FPS, although I believe I am both badass and an avid FPS player.
I believe statistically story and character driven games like those in MMOs and RPGs have more devoted 'hardcoe' fans. Final Fantasy, Metroid, Mario Brothers, Metal Gear, Tomb Raider, etc. are all examples of very strong titles with an undeniable hardcoe fan base that are not FPS games. Many of those games could be improved by a motion controller like Move, Wiimote, or Kinect. Imagine World of Warcraft for a minute without clicking corners of the screen constantly, or binding keys for comboing attacks.
I would like a Kinect Shooter and mentioned how it could amplify the gaming experience in a much more relevant thread here on gamesas.com. If you care to read, although the thread is some 300ish posts long, the link is here:

@tydro123 I like the idea and believe it could be coupled with a memory shape glove (materials that change shape with different electrical currents) for force feedback for the closes thing to virtual reality this side of the century. We have gotten to a place technologically with sound and visuals where we can be immersed, touch is the obvious next step. Until there is that 1 to 1 respond with our senses, we will still be pretending...
