All I did was say I'd prefer the screen to be like the WiiU's - if I were using it mostly for PC.
People want a comfortable and good gaming experience no matter what it plays.
EDIT: If others can easily replicate this tech, am not sure why they couldn't go after a better design.
Agreed. I'd need to try something like this before deciding whether its a comfortable solution or not but I see no reason why it shouldn't be considering it has the form-factor of a normal gaming controller. If anything, its more likely to be better suited to longer gaming sessions than any candybar handheld design would be.
With regards to other designs, from what I've read, I understand that Nvidia will allow any other android devices with a Tegra 3 (not sure on this one?) or Tegra 4 processor to have this same PC streaming functionality. With the open nature of the android market, I expect a lot of alternative 3rd party designs for this, some even at cheaper price points.
Interesting times ahead. IMO Nvidia is simply using this as a way to kickstart their streaming platform (both their cloud based grid service and also the PC streaming capability from 6xx series and above GPU's) and increase market awareness of this type of thing. It is in Nvidia's best interests to also ship as many Tegra devices as possible through third party channels as well for obvious reasons.
I see this as basically giving all PC games the same off screen play features the Wii U has, except this can also do android stuff too as a bonus.
Yeh but its like comparing a 2.1 speaker setup to a 5.1 or 7.1 setup. They all do the same thing at the most basic level... but in terms of fidelity and quality, they are all on entirely different planes.
