I think we can all agree with what the word "success" means on a sales site, right ? If it's not going to compete or more importantly start a huge market then why is nvidia even bothering ? I don't get why nvidia continues to sell the shield if it doesn't generate a sizable profit. 


That it met the company's sales targets? Nvidia is not trying to make a mass market device, it's a niche device. It's probably high margin like all Nvidia's other products. And as I said it's a tool to test their streaming tech and also to advertise their Tegra chipset.

It may have reached it it's sales target but their still going to have to step up their game intensly to be competitive. I think they'll need something alot bigger than the shield to advertise their tegra chipset such as getting the new tegra chipset to be in the iphone or samsung galaxy series.

Like I said they aren't competing with anything with the Shield...

And at least they have the Surface 2 lolz

They gonna need more than that LOL. Intel is about to get dem chips small enough to get it into surface 2 factor.

If this thing would be built with a detachable screen, would sell way better.

Exactly, it's a niche product like the Oculus Rift or the Razer Hydra.

I don't get what point this guy is trying to make. Probably some butthurt AMD fanboy.

U mad that the shield is more irrelevant than the ps vita ? LMAO XD (Sounds like you damage controlling for nvidia, eh ? Cry more clown.) 

BTW AMD processors = dogshit

Face the facts dude. Nobody wants that garbage shield.

You certainly have the maturity of an AMD fanboy.

Not interested in the shield or any handhelds. Just curious to see why you are taking shots at Nvidia.

Damn someone here is getting defensive. Bwahahahaha. 

I'm not taking shots at nvidia. I want to know about the SALES and I thought vgchartz would give me an answer seeing as how I haven't heard too much from nvidia themselves. I'm curious as to why nvidia would make more worthless mobile devices that have almost no relevancy. It's all about dem SALES. We all know that nvidia products are awful in the mobile market and the majortiy agree that it's crap LOL.

Coming from someone who types out their laughter.

Zarx has already been explained to you. Companion device for their graphics cards,  experimental streaming technology etc.

The fact that you are comparing it to the Vita shows how far you are reaching.
