OK, let's try. Here's the sales shares of PS3 and 360 in America, compared with the old data:
PS3 America PS3 Total 360 Total 360 AmericaFPS 24.91% 23.92% 36.58% 34.01%
Shooter 2.54% 0.00% 11.68% 10.39%
Action 16.75% 23.68% 7.64% 6.64%
Racer 13.63% 15.83% 4.33% 3.71%
Adventure 8.27% 9.57% 8.46% 7.91%
Platformer 3.29% 6.18% 3.12% 3.04%
Sports 13.31% 15.28% 5.11% 11.97%
RPG 2.33% 2.35% 13.29% 11.22%
Fighter 2.47% 0.00% 0.00% 0.00%
Other 12.49% 3.17% 9.78% 11.10%
As you can see, there's some more FPS+Shooters for PS3 in America (27% vs the 24% of the worldwide share) but still much less than the 44% of the 360 in America.
The attach rates for FPS+shooters amount to 0.89 for PS3, 1.70 for 360. The differential is +0.81 (+91%) and is thus bigger than the worldwide one both in absolute and relative terms.
The real big difference for PS3 in America is in the "other" genre, actually... once again Rock Band and Guitar Hero games. Now this is a genre that seems to really be deeply rooted in the american market.
Sadly, I can't as easily get the ordered sale data for others and Japan. I would have liked to include the 360 in others+Japan in there.
Edit: added the 360/America data
