I am pretty sure that there will be an age long debate with two sides firmly entrenched as to what is canon. There is no way GRRM is writing two books in one year. (Unless THAT'S the reason why he's so late, he's super secret going to release both books right before season 7!!! 
)
So the show will conclude first, and, probably 8 years later or never at all, the final book of the series will be released. The purist argument is that the series author has the canon right (as it were) and that Weiss and Benioff merely adapted an idea, but there will be people arguing that canon is established once the show puts it out there.
Good arguments on both sides, even I forget sometimes which is which now. Sansa's story is on a different planet, but maybe Martin was getting there. Who knows?

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
