If the 360 lacks diversity in it's lineup then the PS3 really lacks diversity in it's lineup. There's no need to even argue this. Almost every title that could diversify Sony's lineup is on the 360 also plus the 360 has numerous other titles to round things out. Just because a lot of first person shooters grace the console does not change that they are a cherry on top for shooter fans and it's not overwhelming to find the other gems in the lineup.

There are actually more sports titles on Sony's console per year, so you're wrong that it's more prominent on 360. Microsoft doesn't develop yearly baseball and basketball sims.

Racing is prominent on 360 but I'm not sure why that's a bad thing just because Microsoft already got Forza Motorsport 2 out.

No prominent JRPGs on 360? You sure you're looking at the right console here? Games like Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey and Eternal Sonata don't ring a bell? Maybe I should just buy a PS3 and it's huge prominent JRPG lineup. There's ummm....and well....awww jeez I can't seem to find any JRPGs at the store.

If you're seriously asking why it doesn't have a single platformer, maybe you should understand that platformers are not made as often anymore. Thisisn't the SNES/Genesis era. For arguments sake, Kameo, Crash of the Titans and Sonic the Hedgehog are all on 360, so there's three platformers for you.

As far as offstyle racers, that's just an excuse to throw Motorstorm in people's faces. Fine, you win. Sony owns the offstyle racer genre. Happy?

 

 I said that the most prominent titles on the360 are shooters, sports games, and racing/driving sims. Just look at its most popular and best-selling titles. Honestly, why do you think it can only sell well in one region? It's because its library appeals almost exclusively to core and hardcore american gamers.

It has JRPG's, but as far as I'm concerned, they're nothing to write home about. Neither are those platformers you listed(especially Sonic. yuck., and the Crash games have sucked ever since Naughty Dog stopped making them) .Platformers aren't made as often anymore? Kirby Kanvas Curse, Kirby Squeak Squad, NSMB, Yoshi's Island DS, Ratchet & Clank: FTD, Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters, SMG, Super Paper Mario, LBP, Sonic Rivals.

I'm not just comparing the 360(or the Wii) to the PS3(which by now has atleast one decent platformer and one decent exclusive adventure games despite a year less on the market). I'm comparing them to the other platforms as well, which would include the DS and PSP(which have all those genres a lot better covered).
