What's the alternative though, if next gen doesn't use Ryzen?

Something from IBM, ARM, Intel, ect.

Intel's way too expensive, IBM moved all-in into the HPC market wich makes their chips very ill-suited for a gaming console now, and ARM is just plain too weak to compete with x86 outside of handheld/hybrid market where x86 just consumes too much

Also, all of them would need a secondary contractor for the graphics chip, further increasing the price. Only AMD can deliver an all-in-one package with desktop hardware, which would mean Ryzen wins out by default.
