I doubt anyway that the Shield console will be a success. 200$ for the base version and 300$ for the pro (the difference being a 500GB HDD instead of 16GB Flash) sounds absurdly expensive for an android console, no matter it's power.

As for the DX 12_1 functions, I still doubt it will change much, no matter how useful these functions are. Besides, we will have to wait and see first if these are implemented fast by games or if it takes years again before the transition is made.

The Shield Console is irrelevant ... 

Now that I think about it, I doubt Nintendo will ever use those advanced features in the near future cause I think they need to get some more of that engineering talent from regular AAA developers like Naughty Dog, 343 Industries, and DICE or whatever you favour ...

I don't know how they're doing it exactly, but Nintendos own games are generally looking miles better than those of third party developers on their consoles. Since the devkits should be the same, it has either somthing to do with the documentation or with the effort poured in, possibly both. So I don't think they would really need those. As a japanese company they would probably look at Capcom/Bamco/Konami instead of western developers anyway.
