There are demand for non-violent games, but sadly not nearly as high as I would like. Violence appeals to many, now most people like to sit down and play a good session of Mario Kart with friends, but when it comes to online or especially singleplayer violence generally wins out.
I would very much like to see a shift back to more "family-friendly" games but if you're making a game Violence is a much safer option, unless you have a major brand (lego/mario), hell even Activision felt they needed to use an already existing brand in Spyro to launch their skylanders series.
