Nvidia Shield Console with X1 Announced
Nvidia has just announced a Shield Android TV Console (just called Shield) with:
1) Tegra X1
2) 3GB memory
3) 16GB storage + Micro SD slot for storage expansion
4) 2 x USB 3.0 ports, 1 x Micro USB 2.0 port,, Gigabit Ethernet, HDMI 2.0
5) 802.11ac 2x2 MIMO 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.1/BLE, IR Receiver
6) Price is $199 - that includes their WiFi low latency Shield Controller which comes standard . Remote is an optional extra I think
7) They also rolled out GRID(out of Beta), which you can also use via Shield, stream games at 1080p and 60fps
Hmm, didn't realise GRID had such huge games on it. Like Resident Evil 2 . Seems they really put a lot of work to beef up GRID with a supercomputer install base
8) Launches in May

World's first 4K at 60FPS,Android TV Box, with twice the power of a Xbox 360 according to them

Demo showed Borderlands game running on Shield, seems they have been working to get it on the Shield for launch.
Looks like they have been working to get PC games ported to the Shield. They look pretty awesome. They just showed The Talos Principle
50 Launch titles dedicated for the Shield. Doesn't include Play store or GRID games no doubt .
Here's a story on the games coming to the Shield console: http://www.engadget.com/2015/03/03/crysis-3-android/
Ooo, they are launching Crysis 3 for it. Of course they announced it with the old, can it run Crysis, yes it can and will
I hope they include the Ouya store - no word on it though
Jen-Hsun, mentioned games delivered via GRID have the potential to be better than PS4 games due to the power of GRID.
