I just realized Lost Planet 2 has higher overall sales on ps3.  Odd considering the first sold >3:1 in favor of 360.

Well, the first one also launched a year earlier on 360.

I expect we'll see Dead Rising 2 similarly lead on PS3 in Japan sales wise.

I was talking worldwide.

The year of timed exclusivity usually leads to a larger fanbase on 360.  Bioshock 2 is 2:1 on 360 even though most shooters these days only sell 1.4:1 or so (like MW2 and BC2).  Lost Planet seems really unusual, but I guess it backs up the notion that ps3 owners are more apt to buy Japanese-y games.

Oh.  Well, I'd say that mainly attributable to LP2 bombing in the west, but improving in Japan, rather than any real demographic shift.  That sort of inherently works against 360.
