They are called PS3 games because that is what they work on. The PS3 games are not forward compatible and do not work on PS1 or PS2 consoles or on the portable PSP or PSP GO. Some PS3 game titles have other versions with different software that allow them to be used on the other game consoles or the PC and those other versions of the Game Titles will not function on the PS3. None of the Games designated as PS3 will work on other game consoles because each console requires unique software in the game design. The fact that PS3 games are on Blu-ray discs is not the only reason they only perform on PS3 game consoles.
