The only niche I can think of would be the OS and maybe GUI for Set-top-boxes for terrestrial, cable and satellite.

Most are PowerPC based.

The problem is that AmigaOS is 20 years out of date (even OS4.1) and security is becoming more and more of an issue with embedded systems. It is highly credible that next generation set-top-boxes need to become as secure as todays consoles with hypervisors and signed code etc.
