I'm actually very surprised Sony went X86 as usually something like that is too lazy for them.
Plus it also makes things easier for pirates since X86 is just too widely understood.
Any copy protection on X86 is about as much security as a rope barrier with a sign saying do not cross.
With Microsoft I was surprised they went PPC on the 360 when the Original Xbox was X86.
