Are there any demand for non-combat games/games without combat (that aren't sports games)?

[JRPGfan]

Stuff like Fez, Journey, Gone Home, Witness,... are without violence.
Pikmen, Mario, Lego games, littlebigplanet, Minecraft, Peggle, Portal, Animal Crossing, ... ect.

You can easily make platformers, or games with mystery/exploration, puzzle games without any violence, and do well.

Even in games where you must fight, you could have the enemy be cute things that dont die when beat.

Maybe they simply surrender? or run away? and the fighting could be done with non violent means.
