That presentation blew hard.
I won't dare to comment on GeForce Now. That pricing is beyond outrageous.
Mass Effect was great, for the two seconds they showed it. Running on a standard 1080. Right... a standard 1080. Hmm, as if something's missing...
The new Shield? It has 4K HDR, that's nifty. Steam Link app? Handy, but still only a minor software addition. Google Assistant is nice. The Spot microphones are cool, 100% safe and secure, it's not like it records where you are in your house and what you're saying all the time, right? 200 dollar price is nice. But, how about the chip you're using in it? Nope? Alright...
Ah, self driving cars. Those are cool. They're making nice progress and all, we've seen this stuff before. Let's move on... Oh, there's more? Alright...
In all seriousness this was a horrible CES for nVidia. An hour and a half about self-driving cars, they started repeating themselves after half an hour, it was painful to listen to the same things they've mentioned so many times by now, yeah they partnered with Audi and that's cool, but that is NOT material for a final announcement. Such a letdown.
On the other hand, since they strangely only talked about Xavier (which is far from release) out of the ARM chips, clearly glossing over the Pascal chip used in the Shield TV 2, I think Nintendo is keeping them silent because the Switch event is so close, they aren't discussing the Switch or the chip because the Switch is going to use a similar chip. Then again nVidia could have simply been stupid and seriously thought that self-driving cars are a better topic, which I don't find that much of a stretch either.
