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.

umm try again:
that SGX543MP4+ its @ upto 600 Mhz for that GPU that was a test bench @ 200 MHz that is not what the PSVita's GPU is rated @
http://www.gamespot.com/articles/sony-ngp-processor-performance/1100-6287063/
but if you look at the SGX543MP4 "+"
THAT PLUS IS MORE THAN THE STANDARD SPEED OF @200 MHz
PowerVR SGX543MP4+
Quad-Core
200Mhz to 600Mhz
IT WAS HEAVY MODDED

You...amuse me. Nowhere in that article you linked, that still calls Vita NGP (so that's how fresh it is) there's a mention of 600MHz...which, if you know a bit or two about 543, is not what it's even capable of running at.
Again, check few facts before spewing random nonsense, I will certainly not do it for you - for quite some time now consensus is that Vita's GPU clock is 200MHz, and even if at max 400MHz, that was speculated on some occasions, K1 and A8X simply slaugther it...
...which is quite fair, considering 543 is 2009 tech, and while Vita is a great piece of hardware, it's completely ridicilous to compare it with 2014 tech in Shield Tablet and iPad Air 2.
