I think that's just a natural result of a Playstation console dominating the market.
Playstation userbase is usually a lot more welcoming of niche and new IPs, just a glance at how many different and new IPs sold over a million units on PS3 compared to the 360 or Wii last gen is enough to drive that point home.

Nintendo fans tend to usually only buy games with Mario and link in them, though last gen was kinda different for them but mostly cause majority of Wii owners were the usual Nintendo fans.

XBOX fans are usually the type who buy every Halo, CoD, Gears and occasionally a Madden, and they play these games all day every day. Again this trend was actually a lot less prevalent for 360 cause it did have a lot of the PS2 fans that did make the 360's user base seem more diverse.

Playstation consoles have always had the most diverse libraries because the user base is a lot more prone to trying new IPs from different genres, on the flip side this has led to Sony not having a mascot like Mario or Master chief. But I think that's a good thing, cause we always see Sony fund a lot more new IPs every gen compared to other companies.
