The thing's gonna bomb. The Vita tried to be a "hardcore" handheld. Look how that turned out. Nvidia having more selling power than Sony or Nintendo just because it's more powerful and is an open system? Power has anything to do with sales? Lol, that's like saying PC will dominate the industry because- Oh, wait. Nvm. |
Your post is so out of touch its commical.
It will bomb how exactly? This isn't some market changing, ground breaking device that needs to move 30 million units to break even... its a cool little portable gaming system that does a few neat tricks never done before. Nvidia is making most of the hardware and are selling it for $299 hence I am sure they are profiting on every device sold.
By making this device they get to sell their Tegra 4 chips at retail themselves, they sell more graphics cards to people who may be interested in this, plus they offer a cool product. They can probably sell a couple of million units lifetime and make a profit plus push their other products or services.
So what is your problem? How is this going to bomb? It plays Android and PC games, 2 of the largest and most supported platforms on the market. It will have game support for the next decade.

Lol, it's selling to a very small niche market and costs as much as the Vita, yet is stronger than the Vita, which is selling at a loss. Of course this is selling at a loss too. An even BIGGER loss. And Nvidia doesn't have nearly the selling power that the Sony brand has, yet that is failing. Is that a joke, lol? God. I hope you're joking. Delusional.

I'm pretty sure that you pulled the whole Sony losing money on PSVita out of your ass...as companies can build a phone with much better specs tahn PSVita for under 200 bucks and pull a profit.
But lets say that is treu...even so the final joke is on you because Sony may be able to sell PSVita at a loss since they make money from software and licenses. Its a sound business model.
Nvidia on the other hand don't make software and games, nor do they have a licensing fee to collect royalties from games sold since its an open source device... so if they are selling Nvidia Shield hardware at a loss, they are completely retarded and like to just throw money away.
I suggest you check out Nvidia's financials for the last few years. Their business model doesn't include selling shit at a loss, ever.
