The reason one would prefer to run OS4/MOS... Well, actually AROS on the PS3 instead of X86 is that the PS3 has all of one set of hardware. The blessing and curse of x86 is that anyone can make hardware for it, and enough people do that the biggest factor in choosing an OS becomes "can you get drivers".
The blessing of consoles is that the hardware is fixed. Or at least fixed enough that old software can't tell the difference. Right now, if you want to run AROS on x86, you put in the disk, and then check to see what works and what doesn't. With a console, if networks works for me, it will also work for you, because we are assured of having the same network card.
