Mr Puggsly said: I'm not really impressed with it. I like the idea of a Android based handheld console, but not at that price. Nvidia should have allowed games to be streamed on more devices. Like laptops and major smart phone operating systems. Not sure what their goal is, but I don't see this being much of a success. |
Their goal is:
1. To offer value, incentive for people buying their GTX GPU's
2. Provide a gaming dev platform for the Tegra chipset
3. Bridge the gap between PC and mobile gaming
The number of units this sells isn't very relevant at all.
Nvidia will allow streaming on more devices like laptops soon, as long as they are running the latest GPUs. Tegra 4 based tablets are the next step (once they came out). I am not sure which point of yours isnt going to be addressed other than the price...
However when considering the price you have to factor in that Nvidia isn't making royalties on software and can't sell this at a loss to make money later. Also the build quality, screen, speakers, battery life on this thing indicates its worth every penny. They did not go cheap like other android gaming devices...
