Credibility and revenue are seperate issues. Losing Apple's future purchases of PPC chips may indeed have a negligible impact on IBM's revenues. But that's not what was being said. What was being said is that the credibility of the PPC *chip* would be hurt by this move... after all, who's left to use the chip? If everybody else is on-board with Intel, is it just going to be IBM using PPC? You can bet that this is pretty much the end of the PPC as the end of a viable alternative to Intel.
As an old Amiga fanboy, I hate to see the alternatives finally lose. I miss the Motorola CPU days. But alas, it wasn't meant to be. Everybody should have seen this Intel move coming the second that OS X came out. It's customized Unix with a pretty face on Intel, people - get used to it. You're part of the Borg now. ;-)
