Sony Interactive and Microsoft XBox seem to be doing great without an army of underpaid students. AMD does great at the top and bottom: the corporates in the middle that are unwilling or unable to pay people to author/tweak their software for AMD GPUs will do better going with Nvidia, which has great OOTB software, and a premium to go with it.
I suppose if AMD had infinite resources, it'd fix this post-haste.

Sony and Microsoft don't need to interact with AMD's software, they just use the hardware. Just see that Sony made its own upscaling software via ML and even created hardware with several pieces of RDNA architectures, so much so that they called it RDNA 2X (RDNA 2 (compute) + WMMA from RDNA 3 and RT from RDNA 4).
That's for gaming though, which AMD/ATi has decades of experience in.
