According to MCV, the PlayStation 3 should be used to play games. This unbelievable announcement came from the top of Sony - PS President Kaz Harai no less - who commented,

This marks a departure from the console's apparent raison d'etre over the past year: as a multi-media device which, oh yeah, you can play games on. This approach has backfired in the UK and Europe, where other multi-media devices come in cheaper (and more consistent) packaging. The move towards re-integrating games into their, er, game plan, suggests that the general public may not be ready for the dream of One Box Under The TV.
