I would take my time porting to PS3 and/or XBox. It would be easier to do, and more powerful than x86.
As for "more powerful than x86", PS3 is a road kill against AMD based PC (i.e. AMD GAME!(1) reference platform i.e. AMD Radeon HD (stream processor array) + AMD Phenom (command prcoessor).

Real time raytracing the Transformers movie teaser trailers.
Let's see STI CELL matches AMD Radeon HD 2900/3800/4600/4800 raytracing.
Game for PS3 vs AMD PC debate?
Sony PS3 Fold@Home = 900 PPD
NV Geforce 8600M GT Fold@Home GPU2 = 1135 PPD (AMD Radeon HD 3650 scores similar points).
1. "AMD GAME!" refers to AMD's "Centrino" for desktop PC market.
Just take into account that the PS3 is the best cost benefit solution available. Can you buy a bunch of GPUs and make them work for the same price?
Besides this, the PS3 still has a blue ray, and really cool games.
I can´t think about a better port. Price is nice, performance is nice, it has nice games, can run Linux (if you wish) and it is already PPC. You might not like the PPC, but OS4 is already written for it, so it means porting is easier than to x86.
If you want to stick with x86, them supporting AROS is a better alternative. It is already running with this processor and it is free also. Give it a try
