Not really true for game consoles though: the top selling consoles (Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and Wii) are all based on PowerPC architecture, and in fact Microsoft moved from x86 in the original Xbox to PowerPC in its successor. It's also used in IBM's mainframe architectures (zSeries, iSeries or whatever) as well as AIX boxes (pSeries).

There are also other appliances based on PowerPC. Examples that I've seen
myself are a video conferencing server and a wireless access point
manager.

Sparc is also alive and kicking, albeit in an even smaller niche.
