It looks like it has some promise and it's nice to see a handheld with console style buttons and thumbstick.

I'm surprised to see a Nvidia console with no focus on the graphics. Or any specs on the graphics at all. The Tegra 4 chip isn't anything special
The idea of streaming Steam games is intruiging, though.

John Walker of RPS has just tweeted "Bewildered by the credulous reporting of the daft NVidia Project Shield from every website. Be assured that RPS's post at 1 is different." What is he on about do you think?
That was the first thing I thought. The second was "So it's an android tablet with a game controller glued to it?" And looking at the comments of that article, that seems to be a pretty common question.
Like you, the only thing that really piqued my interest was the streaming stuff.
What's RPS? Rock, Paper, Shotgun?
I can't see how he feels warranted calling it credulous, the articles are all based on what they were shown at a trade show. That's just standard journalism.

Yep, Rock Paper Shotgun. Not sure what he is on about but suspect he doesn't believe the streaming.
Well, isn't CES a little infamous for prototypes and floor show mock-ups that amount to nothing (or become wildly different)? It always seems like the skeptic hat is advised to be worn a little tighter than usual for CES than for other trade shows.
RPS have their article up now. Maybe it's because I'm not familiar with their style, but I don't see why he hyped up the article and slagged off the other reports.
He just reiterated the stats, pondered whether it was better than an android phone with the similar specs, and gave an opinion on its looks.
