No you'll never understand what a successful business means! People get overly mad of why sales = quality. If no one buys your product then you know it's worthless and does not serve a meaningful purpose just like how people think the vita is irrelevant when it comes to being a protable gaming device. BTW I'm sure the CEOs would probably agree with me instead of you. 

Meeting Sales targets is more determinant of success than overall sales. This is why games like Pay Day 2, Etrian Odyssey 4, etc. are considered successes while Resident Evil 6 is considered a failure despite RE6 selling over 10 times those games' sales.  There wasn't that many Shields made in the first place so you can't expect to reach something like the Vita's sales level

That's true however exceeding expectations is even more determinant of a success. See the problem is when you have a huge company like nvidia who throws out the shield to become some meager product we have an issue here because they could have used those resources in developing their graphics architectures more often instead of wasting on a pointless project like the shield. Another issue we have here is that it is not meant to sustain nvidia or do anything meaningful at all. The shield is basically a worthless product because it gives nvidia absolutely NO MORE GROUNDS in the mobile space. The shield has an even more limited market place because it's only available to those unique features who only use the kepler GPU. 

The device did exeed expectations, did you miss the part where I said that they SOLD OUT! and that they were ramping up production? There sales expectations for the device were tiny because it was a niche device for a very limited market sold at a premium.
