ARM is huge (especially in consumer electronics), no doubt, and definitely PPC and MIPS are dynosaurs today, but they're *still* used in automotive, in very large volumes, and in other safety-critical industries (aviation, aerospace) along with other obscure architectures (e.g. Infineon's TriCore architecture) that won't be going away any time soon.

There are other differentiating features beyond performance and power consumption, that keep some of these non-ARM architectures thriving, believe it or not. :-)
