Upcoming Nintendo NES powered by AMD
An interesting story broke on Expreview today as it seems in the near future there will not be a console not run by AMD. Nintendo is to release their next-gen console to be the follow-up of the Wii U as well, they need something to seriously compete with 4 and the Xbox One.
Rumors now have surfaced that The successor could be a NES like system with the fun elements the Wii offers. The new product would be empowered by AMD, however whether or not that is a full blown SoC or an assisting GPU is unclear. The reality is that AMD's APUs really offer it all these days, thus CPU/GPU and Northbridge, it would make Littlesense to add say a standalone processor.
This far this is just a rumor, so nothing is known about the final product and or release date.

WiiU backward compatibility will be appreciated. And no PAL/NTSC non-sense.

I've been saying this for a while now. For people with good cash who want luxury systems, there's Intel. For everyone else, there's AMD.
I'm hesitant to recommend their CPUs to people outside of the right circumstances (I have an FX-8350 myself and am very happy with it, but I also know why I have it). But their APUs are fantastic. Cost-effective and easily meeting the "Good Enough" crowd. Businesses don't want "the best", they want "the most profitable". That's why XB1 and PS4 contain what they do rather than a core i7 and a high-end graphics card.
AMD know what they're doing.

Deal should give AMD $1B in total over 2015~2018.
In comparison to PS4 it seems to be either smaller chip or much smaller number of devices made.
My guess is for bigger chip and lower amount of devices.
