I like what Heavenly King said. but also look at the exclusives:

360's top exclusives:

Halo 3 (Shooter)
Kinect Adventures (Kinect)
Halo Reach (Shooter)
Gears of War 2 (Shooter)

Forza Motorsport 2 (Racer)
Fable II (WRPG)
LEft 4 Dead 2 (shooter)
Kinect Sports (Kinect)
Fable III (WRPG)
Left 4 Dead (Shooter)
MAss Effect (WRPG)

That's 7 shooters, 3 Western RPG's, 2 racers, and 2 Kinect titles.

PS3's top exclusives:

Gran Turismo 5 (Racer)
Metal Gear solid 4: guns of the Patriots (Action/Adventure/RPG/whatever)
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (Action/Adventure)
LittleBigPlanet (platformer)
Gran Turismo 5 Prologue (Racer)
God of War III (Action/Adventure)
Resistance: Fall of Man (Shooter)
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune (Action Adventure)
Motorstorm (Racer)
Killzone 2 (Shooter)
Sports Champions (Move/Sports)
God of War Collection (Action/Adventure)
Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction (Platformer/Action/RPG/whatever)
Resistance 2 (Shooter)
inFamous (Action/Adventure)
Heavy Rain (Interactive Drama)
Killzone 3 (Shooter)

That's 3 racers, 6 action/adventure games, 2 platformers, 4 shooters, 1 Heavy Rain and 1 Sports/Move title. That's far more evenly distributed and I'd even consider games like Uncharted to be "Adventure" While MEtal Gear Solid is more Action, so I'd even go so far as to split Action and Adventure into two seperate categories.

But more interesting are the Top Selling multiplatform games and what system they sell better on...

Call of Duty: Black Ops (Shooter) 360
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (Shooter) 360
Grand Theft auto IV (Action/Adventure) 360
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (Shooter) 360
Assassin's Creed (Action/Adventure) 360
Assassin's Creed 2 (Action/Adventure) Tie (Virtually)
Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood (Action/Adventure) 360
Call of Duty: World at War (shooter) 360
Final Fantasy XIII (JRPG) PS3
Red Dead Redemption (Action/Adventure) 360
Guitar Hero III (Music) 360

Okay this is getting boring, seriously.

The only games I found to sell better on PS3 were stuff like Final Fantasy, Resident Evil, Devil MAy Cry, and some sports titles. Most games sold better on 360, but a curious thing I noticed was that shooters, on average, sold 1-2 million more on Xbox, whereas games like Assassin's Creed, Red Dead, Grand Theft Auto, and various other Action/Adventure games sold pretty close to one another overall.

I think that, while not conclusive, this definitely supports the theory that the 360 tends to focus mostly on shooters, whereas the PS3 focuses on a much wiider genre pool. While the multiplatforms definitely prove people are buying more games on Xbox (american games, anyway), the PS3 excels in Japanese games (JRPG's and Capcom games)

For one your comparing the top 14  Xbox 360 exclusives and top 17 ps3 exclusives. If your going to do a comparison you should have the same number of games. That said top 20 exclusives.
