With the CPUs for the Wii, XBOX 360, and PlayStation 3 all coming from IBM, they aren't hurting. There's also a lot of places where the POWER Architecture is used in embedded systems. On the other hand, had they paid more attention to Steve Jobs' requests for a low-power POWER Architecture chip, the whole Intel Mac situation would have never developed.
