That's a very narrow-minded view. People who love films can play games, and vice versa. It's not a one-way street, and taste varies from person to person.
The PS3 is a solid, albeit not perfect, Blu-Ray player. The upcoming BD-50 looks to equal, if not best, the PS3 - but I don't think it offers enough to justify replacing one for the other. For someone new to Blu-Ray, I'd probably suggest the BD-50 (once I've seen it in action), but for someone who already owns a PS3, I'd suggest waiting for the BD-70/90/etc.
Also, by the time the BD-50 ships in the US, it will have some competition from lower-end 2.0 models (The Philips 7200, for instance), and at least one of the Sony models (I assume the 330 and/or 550 models, keeping in line with Sony DVD model numbers from a decade ago).
That's the nice thing about a format supported by many CEs. Lots to choose from.
