I actually see them refreshing this every year or two; basically everytime they release a new version of Tegra.
It's a niche product and NVidia knows it. It's simply a way to make a tidy profit, get some nice PR and get more people buying Tegra optimised/developed software. Games-wise I actually see Android/iOS as the more viable option (vs traditional dedicated handhelds) in the future.

It won't sell 100k |
Oh you're wrong here. PC gamers alone will push this over 1 million. This will sell over a million, one way or another as it doesn't make sense for Nvidia to go in to production will less units than that. If its a complete bomb they will discount the price but looking at initial sales and statements, it doesn't seem like it has any issues selling.
Here is a similar comparison...Nvidia 3D Vision sold 500K units after 1 year and well over a million by now, despite being super niche, costing 200 bucks and requiring 300-400 dollar monitor to work.

I'm pretty confident.
Nvidia planned this as PR for their Tegra business, not a profitable venture.
Require gtx 650 min not gtx 600..i estimate in the us probably sold over 1k in its first week majority being online sales... Over 200 units in stores would be higher but limited locations and limited supply (22 stores in us and 10 avg units in stock) this device mainly sells to pc gamers and kids

I was riping on you about playing uncharted on the bus, train and on the go...that still sounds rediculous to me. I'd take angry birds or solitare on the bus over uncharted any day. That is how kids fall down on train tracks... However the PC gaming on the Shield is an in home experience, for the times you can't or don't want to sit at your PC. Being "ugly" is something thats in the eye of the beholder, but the bottom line is who cares if its ugly? The controls and design isn't just "functional". It destroys 3DS and PSP in terms of comfort, layout and ability to play full console type games. That is what matters... don't have to fiddle with cramped brick like handheld design or tiny analog sticks that isn't meant for people with medium to large sized hands. Also you have a phone that doesn't have buttons to play Android games the same way Shield does. You can pick up a Moga controller and do it ghetto style or maybe make one of these yourself - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=luyDKZxf28I I personally though wouldn't want to bother with any DIY solutions, nor would I want to waste my phones battery on gaming when I'm traveling. |
So I don't know much about this handheld. Does it actually play anything even close to as good as the Vita Uncharted game? (other than streaming PC games)
My main problem with this Nvidia Shield is that it's mainly an Android device. Sorry, but I've had already an Android tablet and those smartphone games simply aren't appealing to me. I also don't intend to play PC games while on bed, so the streaming feature is completely useless to me. The price is also very high, so, yeah, I don't believe i have any reason to consider buying it.

So fans are passive cooling now?
This will die a quiet, lonely death.

DOA.
I don't think the price point is that high considering the hardware and android 4.21 os... Its a high end tablet with built in controller... Better hardware than ouya and its mobile. I'll be getting one for my oldest child for Christmas. Her last two tablets weren't that good at all for the price and thus thing is bully to last... I'll borrow it to play nds emulations
