If they do so it'll be completely irrelevant to the console market.

Really? My guess is that, if that is true, Sony won't choose AMSD for PS5.

Because of what? Sony and MS do business all the time. If they'll get the best offer from AMD they will choose AMD, regardless of wether MS owns them or not. If MS buys AMD, it'll be a division that is entirely separate from the XBOX division. For example, the PS4 uses some DRM software developped (and licenced) by Microsoft, the XBO uses blu-ray even though Sony is part of the blu-ray consortium and thus makes miney on every blu-ray disc sold.
