Well I wouldn't all get your hopes anyway.  Two points relating to if and when the xbox uses ppc.

1) The first xbox hasnt exactly taken over the console market has it.  So whats to say the xbox2 would.

2) both the N64 and Gamecube use ibm supplied ppc.  And of course the gamcube also uses custom graphic from ATI.  so it won't be anything new.


I wonder also has this got anything to do with that big batch of G5's that microsoft had delivered the other day :)
