Playstation 3 Demographic More Diverse Than Xbox 360 Demographic?

I think the PlayStation crew has different tastes than either Microsoft or Nintendo, which is why titles like HEAVY RAIN & Flower are such hits on the system. Whether or not they're more diverse is up for debate, but the games Sony releases in conjunction with Microsoft or Nintendo, I feel, are more varied, which then leads to the presumption that PlayStation gamers are more diverse. This gen, PS3 and 360 owners are closer in likeness than PS2/Xbox gamers were (which is actually an issue for PlayStation given that Microsoft did their best to keep the 360 as similar to PS3 in titles as they could, which was a brilliant strategy that allowed for much more headway). I, personally, think it's bad for the industry, but that's for another topic and something I don't want to debate on at this moment (especially since it would be for the umpteenth time).

Next gen, all Sony needs to do is keep their varied line-up strong and the woes of the PS3 will be just memories. Right now, I'd say it's the PS3's line-up that's a bit more varied, but the user-bases between PS3/360 are fairly similar (even though they often have different buying trends).

Not trying to start a argument, just saying that Live Arcade is a great place for 360 owners to show their diversity. I could make a huge list of exclusive Arcade games that arent shooters but heres the ones off the top of my head that sold extremely well. 

Cloning Clyde, Geometry Wars 1/2, N+, Pac Man Championship Edition, Splosion Man, Trials HD, Super Meat Boy, Pinball FX/2, Texas Hold Em, Uno, Fruit Ninja Kinect, Banjo Kazooie, Hexic 2, Bastion.

Not to mention Braid, Limbo, and Castle Crashers, and right now From Dust all sold extremely well when they were timed exclusive, and id call none of them shooters. The PSN versions tanked by comparison.

At its core the PS3/360 crowd are near identical. But just because our flagships are shooters we get a label.
