Intel can make better margins for their chips elsewhere. AMD does not have such good market share on the desktop so needs to offer bulk commercial supplies like this and they're not going to make much of a margin on them. This is especially the case because of current energy efficiency drives. Intel leads on this and AMD trails but for the games console market energy efficiency is not so important for buyers as it is in desktop computing. A console maker therefore won't mind about buying inefficient chips cheaply en masse.
