The main problem with PPC is that it's sole users are Game Consoles, which means it's development is in that line.

No they aren't. They are in everything from Set-top-box's to Phones, PDA's, routers, washing machines etc.

There are countless others. You are right, ARM is the worlds best selling microprocessor, but PowerPC is right up there in second. It's not just in the GameCube, Wii, Xbox360 and PS3 :-)
