MIPS cpus for nintendo could be made : by say MISP, not SGI (and SGI sold/is trying to sell MIPS). Acutally, the Nintendo 64 uses the Vr4300 series of chips from NEC. I think the new Nintendo will use a different (non-mips) processor, but I'm not completely sure what the new one will be (when NEC announced this, MIPS stock took a dive). SGI has already spun out MIPS and has been slowly reducing its stake in MIPS for some time now. However, there is another gaming machine based on a 128bit MIPS design in the pipeline from, I think, Sony.
