AMD Hired Jim Keller in 2012. That is when we knew something big was happening... And that design would be Ryzen.
In 2015 it was formally revealed that Ryzen existed... But anyone in the know who traveled the enthusiast circles, knew about Ryzen well before that.

But nobody knew the final design  or if it was going to get into consoles. They had bigger chips before and used Jaguar cores....

Consoles are cost sensitive devices, they have historically opted to spend more on GPU than the CPU... Having a larger amount of die space reserved for the CPU is counter-intuitive.
Jaguar fits in with that paradigm... Only the Playstation 3 was the real deviation and was a console that generally took CPU performance seriously. (But with it's own caveats.)

Ryzen from the get-go was built as a very tiny core, so it will be perfect for next-gen... Bulldozer on the other--hand was a monolithic core/module for it's process and not ideal... Not an impossible choice, but not ideal.
