PS3: more “home entertainment” than gaming system?

Apparently many still think so including Heavy Rain maker – David Cage.

I am rather taken by this, I bought my PS3 purely with gaming as the main purpose, secondly for it’s Blu-Ray abilities. The Playstation 3 is a stunning piece of kit when it comes to media too, with the ability to tweak settings to your heart’s desire. But as a core gamer, it still remains primarily a gaming device… in my home at least.

When David Cage was asked in a now well known interview with GamesIndustryBiz if  it helped that Sony’s platform is “seen as more of a home entertainment box rather than just a games machine?” He replied, “yes, certainly” and that with Heavy Rain it was right, referring to the game’s nature of playing out a video story.

Is this really the way majority see the PS3? I see it as my means to play Killzone 2.
