Xbox to Switch to PowerPC
WIRED ARTICLE
Mac Gaming just got better. Speculate if you will, but Direct X must be ported to PowerPC!
This is huge shot at the x86 community as well. Here is my speculation. THe PowerPC is going to be kicking some big time x86 ass in processor speeds real quickly. Microsoft knows it.

The man who make the IBM cluster never used a mac before : it's the switch of the year.
He said also that the itanium 2 cannot compete : amazing.

The thing gets actually quite interesting. BigMac just crossed the 10 TFlops barrier to terminate, for the time being, at 10.28 TFlops. Definitive results are expected later in November.

Don't count on it. DirectX is virtually all C/C++ anyhow, so the "port" is not a big deal. A bigger issue is that it sits atop the NT kernel, not Darwin.
Nintendo uses IBM chips. Are Nintendo games playable on your Mac?
