Ironically enough, the X-Box 360 uses three PPC cores.  I may be wrong,
but I think the Wii is also PPC.  The Cell on the PS3 counts as PPC as
it has a PPC core, which is why YDL runs on it.  So PPC owns the games
console market now.

Microsoft moved to PPC and Apple moved to Intel.  The world just got
stranger.
