This really isn't coming out to sell in the millions and shouldn't be judged based on its sales merits. The point of Nvidia Shield is this:
1. Push the Tegra 4 as the most GPU powerful ARM based SOC
2. Provide extra value to people buying video cards to buy the Nvidia Geforce cards and stream PC games to their Nvidia Shield
3. Give Nvidia an edge over Qualcon and Samsung when it comes to Android based chipsets for gaming. If devs start optimizing games to run on Tegra 4 better thanks to Shield being popular, Nvidia absolutely accomplished everything they wanted to with this device.
I'll probably get one since it seems way more customizable and feature packed than PSVita thanks to Android, and probably has better build quality than anything else running Android.
