No.
Playing audio (and video) CDs was a selling point for not only the PS1, but its failed CD-based console competitors as well. The DVD functionality was a big selling point for the PS2. The PS3 is the most used device for Netflix viewers, and it's a big factor for the 360 as well. While all the useless overconnectivity and social networking crap shoved down our throats is annoying, it's fully expected for consoles to have solid features beyond just playing games now.
I don't have a problem with that, frankly, even if it's been going overboard lately. I feel a games-only device would be a huge step backwards as far as console functionality goes.
