Any reason why AMD don't make a console chip ?

Probably because x86 chips don't make particularly good chips for consoles. You can get/make much cheaper chips that can do the job better.
 
Because nobody's asked yet. And nobody will. AMD == taboo in the CPU market. A meteoric rise from second rate to top dog tends to shake people up and make them skeptical that it'll last.

Because AMD said "Haha, 700MHz? We'll give you a 1.7GHz K7 with the same heat output" and Microsoft was like "Uhhh we'd like some room to squeeze in an xbox2 at a later date"

No, I think Intel undercut them on the price at the last minute.
