But AMD now has the videogame console business too. It's on all three consoles after all (but I guess they get more bucks from MS an Sony than from Nintendo). That should keep them alive for some time.

Also, one advantage nVidia has that it's not mentioned above, is that GeForce's CUDA works like a charm for 3D modeling and design. Unlike AMD ugh!

I highly doubt the console business is more than just scraps after the bulk of the R&D is done. As none of the chips are manufactured by AMD they can only get money from licenses and from additional R&D for shrinking the chips and so on.

How much money can those licenses get them? Maybe $5 per console? Which would make that $150m per year if 30m consoles are sold per year? That's a tiny amount compared to what they lose in their other businesses.
