Loking at this poll its seems lotsa people missed Eurogamer article about NX that later was confirmed buy multiple reliable sites.

So we have Eurogamers infos that saying NX is using Nvidia X1 chip, also those Eurogamer infos are confirmed by multiple reliable sites.
On other hand nothing point that NX using AMD, so at this point its almost certain NX will have Nvidia chip.

According to Yahoo Finance you are wrong. AMD has, according to this "won an order for Nintendo’s upcoming console, codenamed “NX.”" It's interesting how this say's console. All the Tegra articles make a mention about a handheld. These are two different sets of rumors for two different consoles which go under the same code name. ibtimes reported on recent job listings by NoA looking to market a Handheld device and another for a Console.

It seems like a lot of people are behind on the rumors. I think the question should be asking which member of the NX family will be using a GPU provided by whom? Right now, it's all speculation. However a lot of the rumors and reports contradict each other unless we take into the account the possibilities of multiple systems. At this point we start to see a clear picture.

Yahoo is just assuming one of the three contract wins AMD is bragging about must be Nintendo. They don't have any inside info. 

If the XBox S has a new custom chip design inside of it (some people are saying it's a Polaris 11) ... that basically destroys the whole AMD theory, there's your three contract wins right there -- Scorpio, PS4 Neo, and XB1 S. 

Nintendo does need marketing for consoles -- they have the NES Mini coming out and still another 6-7 months for the Wii U to be marketed. And probably after that there's the inevitable Super NES Mini and so on. NES Mini may not be a big deal to hardcore game enthusiasts (well some of them), but that doesn't mean it magically can market itself or requires no retail marketing support. NES Mini will probably sell more than any Wii U holiday season did.
