Here is a link to a player demographics article on Gamasutra: http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/industry_news_display.php?story=1465 . The data is based on a report by Jupiter research but I was unable to find more information on their pages. I think you are supposed to buy the report.

Generally they think that the audience is growing older. Here is an interesting snippet: '61% of those surveyed cited "low-intensity puzzle and board games" as their favorite genre.'
