Not sure what you  mean by too powerful..you do realize that both nVidia Shield Tablet and iPad Air 2 are generation ahead of Vita? And when I say generation ahead I mean PS4 to PS360 jump, not iPad Air 2 to iPad Air jump, which means they can currently run 7th gen console level games...like Trine 2 for example.

By the time next Nintendo handheld launches, that type of performance will be in most, if not every, mid-tier tablets...so they better have at least that kind of performance in their next device.


excuse me?

LMAO, you do know the playstation Vita has the SGX543MP4+ GPU with 128 MB of dedicated Video ram, not to mention not only is this the very same GPU that is in the iPAD III

but also has a much faster GPU clock rate than the iPAD III GPU.

so to say the above nvidia shield, and the iPad Air 2 is  generation ahead is pretty ironic. 

You are excused...to go and check your facts.

iPad 3 has the same, but higher clocked GPU (250 vs 200MHz in Vita).

But just for fun, I won't even compare Shield Tablet/Air 2 with iPad 3...I'll use iPad 4 which stomps both iPad 3 and Vita.

Of course, this is for offscreen performance, which shows true potential of SoC - for onscreen, Vita has 6x less pixels to draw than iPads.
