Market research firm NPD has published some fresh statistics about the wild and wonderful "gamer" demographic, and the report includes interesting tidbits. For one, NPD says both avid PC gamers and "offline" PC gamers are "the oldest segments with an average age for both of 42 years." That compares to an average age of 31 years for gamers as a whole. Those two PC segments make up 11% and 8% of the total gamer population, respectively (or about a fifth put together).
