Sony's appeal really isn't diversity.

Outside of internet message boards the general consumer doesn't care about weird niche games like Puppeteer or Knack or something.

Sony's formula is to target older males (and by doing so they know they get younger players too, since younger players want to be older).

That and they don't make a lot of mistakes. They sit back and wait for Nintendo/MS/Sega to make mistakes and then they capitalize on them and consolidate third party support (which is actually where diversity comes from ... having a large pool of third party developers). 

Throw in some decent marketing and voila.
