Actually, I remember reading a report in 2013 saying that ARM was considered for this gen, but the performance per clock is too low to compete with x86. This was the reason why any Nvidia APU was discarted, because they would have to be ARM. Intel was discarted because they couldn't provide an APU with a strong GPU. Both Sony and MS wanted an APU because it is more economic. AMD was the only company that could provide a strong enough CPU with a powerful GPU in one single chip.
If ARM SoCs reach performances more comparable to x86 ones, it's completely possible that next gen could use one of them. It's just a matter of what's the best option when they start researching solutions.
