What is the purpose of steam on consoles?

On PS3, Steam provides the following benfits:

1.  Updates are come directly via Steam, allowing the PS3 version of a game to stay perfectly up-to-date with the PC version.  This prevents a situation like Team Fortress 2 from ever happening again, and it allows for cross-platform play between PC and PS3, given the two versions will always be in sync.

Thats what i thought until i read the article posted in this thread.

"Faliszek said the firm still has to go through Sony’s approval process in order to update games through the service."

So does valve wait to update portal 2 until the updates for the ps3 are approved?

I think they have to be approved by Sony, but are downloaded directly through Valve. 

I'm not sure on the details, tbh, but I think you're right with that assessment.
