Has Nvidia made the biggest mistake in its history by ignoring consoles?

They will still communicate outside of the chip through the RAM anyway, which in a lot of cases is a bottleneck for APUs because CPU and GPU have to share it instead of each having their own. 

Not exactly, both the CPU and GPU have cache coherent shared virtual memory in the case of consoles so they are not exactly forced to only communicate through the main memory ... 

I have not said "only". But they will not be able to communicate exclusively through the in-chip connections in games, which makes any gained advantage negligable.
