This is not the way its meant to be played.
Maybe they won't go all in on it and it will be a small project like razors thing they did that everyone including me forgot about. If it was really cheap it would be cool but I don't think Nvidia has a chance at getting into the peripheral for the interconnected living room market slice.

The worst design ever, but OH GOD THE POTENTIAL EMULATION.

Kind of reminds me of the original Xbox in that regard.
If the streaming app works with any game on your steam game list, it should be possible.

This is like just before the fall of Rome when senators got into massive competitions about lavish and useless buildings.
This videogame crash is going to be like our financial crash - harder to see at first but broader, deeper, more fundamental.
They could likely make more money by going into game development itself. But everybody is panicking about Apple's dominance I guess.

Yup, the thing is practically the Duke with an ugly clamshell screen.The Xbox comparisons are apt
It's basically what a handheld from the Xbox team circa 2001 would have been.
Still wondering about this. The features are nice and all, but I'm not going to buy a dedicated handheld just to stream PC games and play Android games.

Could be cool. Too bad it looks like something released in 2002. It's just begging to have a Mountain Dew sticker slapped on the back of it.

You know, that guy namedropped Ouya as a reciever, but why would you want one if you had this device? It appears to literally do everything Ouya does except better and with even more options.

I nominate this as the most generic weapon/attachment combo ever. Tired of it.

It will probably be $300+ and it uses micro SD.
Mobile and PC gaming (or their convergence) aren't going to crash the industry.

Nvidia is an OEM vendor. Could this be steam box in disguise? My buddy thinks so since they wouldn't talk about steam.
Too much color.

There needs to be some hands on with this thing. From thumb movement to action on the screen there seemed to be some latency.
From what I gathered, it seems that both the card and Shield are necessary for streaming. I could be wrong.

I'm always down for more handhelds but it looks so bad. At least there are buttons.. The return of Panasonic Jungle

Nvidia with the original Xbox would not budge one bit on the price of the gpu over the consoles life keeping it the same price as the day it launched which in turn meant Microsoft had fewer cost saving options.
Nvidia had a slice of the pie and got greedy and lost in the end as now all 3 use ATI
It was once rumoured the 3ds was going to be Tegra based... I'm really wondering why it didn't happen.

I was thinking about this announcement a little bit more and I think I have it all figured out. Nvidia is super pissed that all next gen consoles will be going to AMD for the GPU needs and they felt left out so they wanted to make their own console to still be in the game. The problem is that they don't have to slightest idea on how to make a traditional console entirely on their own so they decided to go mobile. The Tegra 4 chip is of course theirs but everything else is most likely off the self, the OS is free, and games are supplied by the Android Market.
