They don't need AMD to go down to have troubles.
What if, after Polaris and Vega, AMD decides that it can't improve their GCN architecture and design a new one? It's not that hard to imagine. How will Sony and Microsoft react to that?
To me, these new consoles only prove that consoles are becoming more and more like PCs, and that's not necessarily a good thing.
