Of course, since more Xbox2's will be sold than G6 generation Apples, MS will control the supply of chips.

I don't think so. I think the great majority of the PPC chips made are going to DOD. As far as I know, all new military embedded processors have been PPC for years now, since Intel bailed out of the market five years ago.

Nah. Lot of embedded PPC chips in the military, for sure, but not nearly exclusively. The F/22's avionics are built around a modified i960, as one quick example.
