NVidia Shield 2? It seems like we will never see it in stores because of the upcoming Nintendo console!
According to Digital Trends, NVidia decided to cancel the Shield 2 project because the big N’s new console is rumored to use the NVidia Tegra chip, and the NVidia Shield 2 would have been overshadowed by the NX, which is considered as a rival. This is a possible reason behind the „cancellation due to business reasons”…
While it may seem like a harsh move by NVidia, if you consider the situation, it might end up as a logical step to can the Shield 2. The Shield doesn’t have a lot of exclusive games, and in 2014, the original Shield Tablet was recalled because of safety reasons, tarnishing the brand’s reputation.
Only one thing is left for us: we just have to wait for Nintendo to reveal the NX (possibly at the Tokyo Game Show). If it does end up as a portable console with the NVidia Tegra chip, NVidia will be proven right.
