All the same, Gerard, there are some people, like me, who still use Fedora on PowerPC architecture. So while Apple no longer creates PPC machines, and I cannot speak for PlayStation, the fact that there are still a lot of PPC-based Apple hardware still running (a testament to Apple's hardware quality which, with a few exceptions, is fairly top-notch) is something that shouldn't be ignored, despite dwindling numbers.
This is probably not the right place to talk about this, however it bears mentioning.
