Please don't compare apples and oranges. Why do you bring the Nvidia Shield tablet all of a sudden?

The Nvidia Shield portable doesn't have a 1080p screen, it has a 720p screen at only 5 inches. And it launched at $299.

The NX will have a 6 inch screen and other upgraded components compared with the Nvidia Shield, and it will be more powerful.

$199 is unreasonable. I think you are putting up those expectations so that you can complain and declare it as a failure when the launch price is announced, but in reality you don't believe it will cost $199 at launch.

Why did I compair it? Because Nintendo is releaseing a tablet much like it, rumored to have a tegra in it much like the one in the nvidia shield, if not near identical. Because they are both gameing devices, that are portable and can hook up to a tv.

And you are wrong about the nvidia shield tablet.

It does have a 1080p screen, and its 8".

It costs 199$ now, why cant Nintendo do one simular if the insides are likely the same?

 

"This is Nvidia's second portable gaming device that uses Android. Compared to the Shield Portable, the controller is not permanently connected to the screen, rather it can be purchased separately. Up to four controllers can be wirelessly connected at the same time. While the Shield tablet features an 8-inch 1920x1200 pixel display, it can output 4K resolution signal to a television via HDMI.[2]"  - wiki

But you are moving the goalposts constantly. You tried to prove the hardware is weak by talking about the Scorpion, and now you try to show the Nvidia Shield has better features by talking about the tablet all of a sudden. But the Shield Tablet doesn't include a controller (can be purchased separately).

Nintendo isn't releasing a tablet. Why don't you stick to comparing it with the Nvidia Shield Portable? The Nvidia Shield Portable has a 5 inch screen of 720p and doesn't include a docking device.

By having to pick features from a multiple of different sources and combine them into an imaginary device you have just proved that the NX can't cost only $199.
