Sounds, like you are sitting in a dark office in Japan for the last
FIVE years, with your IBM suit on and that you have lost touch with
what is happening in the "real" World.
The authoritative references on this subject are the IDC Quarterly
Trackers. All major manufacturers follow them.
The last time I looked, the one that tracks the >$250K server
marketplace showed that System z had consistently and significantly
gained market share over the past several years.
That's not a measure of MIPS shipped or anything like that. It's a
measure of actual percentage of total market ownership in the >$250K
server marketplace.
