OK I'm sure others have seen this but the Gamecube from Nintendo is powered by and IBM PowerPC Chip( http://gamespot.com/gamespot/features/video/gamecube_dossier/ ) Codenamed Gekko this is apparently the same or obviously very similar to the G3s.
My question is does this mean that developers for the Gamecube will be writing programs that are very similar to what would be needed to run on a Mac? I'm not expecting ot get Gamecube Games ported to us, I'm not sure I'd want to truthfully as I'm not a big fan of Nintendo after pokemon, but this could mean more exposure of PowerPC architecture to deveolopers right?
Could this be a sign of things to come?! Or am I just overreacting?
