x86 is the commonest platform so it should be on it. Go full 64-bit SMP/SMT while your at it.
I would also like to see it on ARM because it is perfect for light lean OS and unlike other ARM OS you would be free to tinker with it.
PowerPC died when Apple dumped it, if people didn't see it was time to move then... they must interpret the world funny.
68k on FPGA will be satisfactory, but it is not for a serious alternative main OS.
If nothing happens I hope Haiku or AROS will be fully functional alternative OSes.

Just remember that the boat is sailing. If it's going to be ported to ARM start soon. How about on one of those Android tablets?

Architecturally can the PPC ever reach the performance of the x86!?

All that and cheaper too. Only problem is you would only expect a thousand sales compare to 200million for an Xbox360.

Everyone is thinking 1 dimensional. Why not make use of all those excellent virtual machines and set them up to run the legacy software. I guess that is for AROS to do... eventually.
My new dream OS is directory Opus and a web browser (instant on) which can boot into any OS I want (mostly OS 3.1, AROS, Windows, and maybe Haiku.)
