Read on it from gamesindustry biz:

NPD surveyed 5,000 members of its US online panel to ask about gaming habits and found that 79% of US consumers have played a video game in the past six months, up from 73% the last time it ran this survey.

Gains among demographics were also spready unevenly, with the NPD reporting that adults over 45 showed larger gains in their gaming habits.

People between the ages of 45 and 54 reported spending 59% more time gaming and 76% more money, while those from 55 to 64 spent 48% more time and 73% more money.

I feel forums and social networks members talking about gaming is one of the reasons that gaming have become so popular because most social networks and forums have a lot of member posts related to gaming.

Gaming is also one of the few indoor activities which most family members of different ages can spend time together playing games with each other because there are a lot of games like party games, music games, racing games, and fighting games which people can play for funs.
