nVIDIA Shield - Personal Gaming Device. Is nVIDIA Smartphone Coming?

Today, nVIDIA made a big bang announcement - their own personal gaming device, called 'Project Shield'. The company, until now supplied the graphics processors to power the modern generation of games; but now has decided to take the complete control over the gaming and has chosen to go the 'handheld way'.

Having complete control over the hardware is definitely a good move for the company, but I now see a serious competition in the gaming arena. If nVIDIA tastes success with the handheld gaming, I'd not be surprised to see the company announcing their own phone - with a high end graphics processor.

What do you say?

    Your best bet would be nVIDIA US. I doubt you'll get to work on the hardware part in India.

    I'm certainly not. I've checked the device and Android base would kill it for me. I'd rather save some money for PS4 which comes to my dreams every night.

    Access to Valve's Steam + Ability to play PC Games + Cloud Gaming + Ability to stream games in any type of HD monitor in $350 is enough to kill any Console.Don't you think ?

    Have you played PS / XBOX hardcore games? I doubt the handheld device will be able to match what PS/XBOX offer.

    I think #-Link-Snipped-# is into gaming. What say you, Smriti?

    First thing first, nVidia SHIELD is not mere "handheld" device.
    It's major objective is to make "Hardcore gaming" portable using nVidia GRID,so gamers can enjoy gaming while on move.

    The concept of SHIELD is much deeper than what most people assumes it to be.

    I think I appreciate that controls and display are at an angle but I've never been a fan of handheld gaming.
