The PSP (Playstation Portable) was a MIPS device too.
My last encounter with MIPS was a payment terminal I worked on in 2014, which sadly never made it to market. There was a company making 'secure' variants with a variety of hardware features suited to payment terminals - a hardware TRNG, a couple of pins which transmitted and received a TRNG signal constantly, so that you could attach a tamper-detection wire and brick the device if it broke, key-erasure features etc.
