Who's counting? - well you obviously!
As for the AVR vs PIC war... well I have seen more AVR chips in devices than i have seen PICs for some unknown reason. Maybe I don't know where to look...
I've only seen one AVR, but lot's of PIC's - it might depend on the type of equipment I suppose?. MicroChip do publish their sales figures, it's an incredible number of PIC's they sell each year!.
