1) Yes Nintendo are probably locked in with nvidia, if the switch is a success. It means The Switch 2 (in 2021?) will be a nvidia mobile chip too. If the Switch doesnt do well.... nintendo goes back to 2 consoles approach and does a traditional console, probably useing a amd chip.
2) "The partnership may end up enticing competitors"... No way. Its 4 years lateron, and 1/3rd the power. Nintendo is Nintendo, they can make a system like this and sell it, but it would hurt MS or Sony if they did this.
Scorpio is going to be 6 Teraflops... rumors say Switch is 600-750 Gflops (when docked, less than that when not).
Scorpio could be 10 times the power of the Nintendo Switch (when docked).

I don't think you read the context correct Nvidia could entice Sony and MS over because simply put they're better than AMD, Switch is also a portable device which is why it has the rumoured 750Gf or 1Tf if you believe the guy who leaked the PS4 pro is really good for what it is now picture Nvidia doing things for standard consoles again. Scorpio's 6Tf is nothing to Nvidia if Sony announced a 6Tf console coming with Nvidia at the helm Scorpio would be in trouble that's the point.

Nvidia are better than AMD on windows, with Direct x 11.
Console space codeing to near metal.... Im not sure nvidia has any advantages.
