I get a feeling that was the plan all along.

With AMD processors in the next Xbox, they'd have pretty good visibility already on the AMD offerings coming.

I think ARM based Surface RT was a similar plan, getting in early on ARM to be ready for when their performance matched Intel. It's a shame of course that Qualcomm never got there, and it was only Apple that kept ramping ARM processor performance.
