AMD has already had 2/3 the console market for years now with no appreciable impact on PC gaming. Before next gen consoles even hit the shelves we will be seeing next gen PC hardware being put to use, the console hardware is locked 5+ years until the next gen.

If anything new PC hardware from both AMD and Nvidia will be hamstrung by yet to be released console hardware for the next half decade as far as console ports are concerned.

In the end I don't see a tangible performance advantage or disadvantage for either brand because the hardware needed to run console ports will have the bar set much lower than pc hardware is capable of already today. We already have PC hardware more than capable of handling anything next gen consoles would need to run.
