It looks nice, but I don't think it will be very successful. From what I've read, it doesn't have it's own dedicated game format like most consoles. It plays Android games, but gadgets that play those are already very common. It can also stream PC games, but that requires a PC that uses an Nvidia graphics card. The range of this streaming is unclear, but that may be what makes or breaks the Shield as a gaming device. If you can stream games miles away from your PC, that's an attractive feature. If you can only do it at home, that is not so good.
