A new report has identified several interesting statistics concerning video game players in Australia, including information highlighting that women and seniors are the fastest growing audience for video games within the region.

The report, which was issued by the IEAA (Interactive Entertainment Association of Australia) game industry association, was based on data compiled by the Bond University Centre for New Media Research from surveys of about 1,606 households and 3,386 individuals. Of those individuals surveyed, 41 percent of the respondents were female (up from 38 percent), while 8 percent were seniors over 60 years old. The oldest gamer surveyed was 84 years old.
