Sticking with AMD for GPUs makes sense no matter the CPU architecture. AMD is competitive on x86, and at the moment Samsung is working out the kinks to integrate Radeon GPUs with their ARM CPUs... so once Samsung has proven the concept works (and, of course, paid for the effort), maybe large consoles will make the switch.
It shouldn't be much of a problem for game studios in the end, most games run on one of the household-name engines anyway and they have supported ARM for many years for mobile games.
