no, no, and no!.

i can play all of those android games on a cheap android tablet.

and if i make purchases on their cortex store......do i get to play them on my phone as well? most likely not.

These casual TV consoles are all a joke. that includes nvidia shield.
 
The only reason I cared about the Forge TV was GPU agnostic game streaming. It seems they've completely given up on that feature though, as the marketing for Cortex doesn't mention it and the dedicated page has been killed. Useless device that never lived up to its potential.
 
Do you even own a Shield? The Shield offers SHIELD ONLY games, the Google Play Store and ALL games from your PC. Including World of Xeen on floppy disk (if you still have it). And with Shield Tablet, I can go to a friends house all (even multiplayer multi controller) games work from my PC. SO no, this isn't even remotely close to Shield Devices. It's also what Makes NVIDIA SHIELD significantly better than the rehashed google play store options found on OUYA (and yes I have a OUYA)
 
The reason no one should support and buy Nvidia Shield devices is the fact they're creating closed ecosystems within an existing ecosystem. In two years when Nvidia drops their Android foray, what extra will you get out of your Shield device then? They really should rename it Walled instead of Shield.

You can stream your entire PC gaming library to your Shield; over LAN or WAN. The Android games and Tegra/PC Ports are just gravy that you can run on your powerhouse on top of it being a HTPC for Koki/Plex/Netflix etc...
