> PowerPC is the one I’d have bet on

Interesting to note that all state of the art video game consoles of the era (xbox 360, PS3 and Wii) used PowerPC CPUs (in the preceding generation the xbox used a Pentium III, the PS2 used MIPS and the GameCube was already PPC).

Power.org [1] was a fairly serious initiative to push Power for consoles and the like at one point.
