That would make it a bit more interesting. Although streaming windows games is not really the same thing as playing windows games.In addition to supporting all of the games available to Android devices and the games in the Tegra Zone, the Shield also has the ability to stream games from a home Windows PC equipped with a GeForce GTX 650 (or higher) graphics card to the handheld device over Wi-Fi, letting users access their library of PC games, including games in the Steam library, while on the go. It access the games on the home PC and run them virtually on the Shield.
Android supports gamepads natively since 4.0, so it will become more widespread; and similar devices have tricks to make the buttons simulate signals to the games' virtual controls.Friendly wrote:Problem is that only very few Android games have native support for buttons and analog sticks.

Can't imagine it will have much effect. This seems to be more of a proof-of-concept type product than something they're intending to try to sell to the mass market. Tegra 4 is going to make into plenty of other products, and it's not unlikely that they'll license the technology in Shield to their technology partners at some point as well, so you might see similar things from other companies.Khan wrote:I wonder just how far nvidias stock will dip after this fails
From my point of view as a consumer the important difference is that Vita isn't a failure for those who actually own one. Too bad if Sony isn't making any money with it, but that doesn't directly concern me; it may in the long run if they stop supporting it, but by then I'll have gotten my money's worth in the form of entertainment (actually, I feel I already have).linko9 wrote:And that's ignoring the fact that Vita is a complete failure, and ought to have scared them away.
Market fragmentation is probably the point. There are already "Tegra-exclusive" games and builds with extra effects (which in turn, have been run on rooted non-Tegra devices via a wrapper driver that can translate texture formats, lie about the hardware, and such other tomfoolery). They've done deals with developers for Nvidia-exclusive effects on PC games in the past, to say nothing of the handful of games that outright require a GeForce.Udderdude wrote:Everyone's jumping on the Android console/handheld bandwagon!
