It made sense. There were also university CS departments doing the same thing. The Cell processor in the PS3 was pretty damn powerful for the price at the time.
and iirc, it had Linux support, so it was perfect because Sony was selling the hardware at a loss to sell more units and consequently sell more games.
when people started buying ps3s to install Linux, Sony made a firmware update to block this.
