Because before the PS3 was hacked PS3 News would also report on other Console news - so information like this used to be common but has since dwindled.
The site still has a console area here: http://www.ps3news.com/forums/console-news/
So whether it can run on PS3 or not is irrelevant as it is console hacking news and is still worthy of being published on PS3 News.
It's a cool way of staying updated.
