Do you only think the hardware is underwhelming because you're comparing it to a PlayStation that's about ten times larger? As a handheld console you can't deny it was impressive.

I'm comparing it to the fact that their own games drop to single fps on very expected situations.

The Nvidia shield came out in 2013 and had the same hardware as Nintendo Switch in 2019 so no it wasn't that impressive.

I loved my shield. If they had given it the ability to run Linux and play PC games. We would've had the Steam Deck a decade earlier. It was a great emulation station.
