Odd. Seems like a winner form factor for a little Nvidia Shield replacement / TV gaming machine. Wonder if there is an inherent flaw we haven't heard about yet.
It sounds like they fucked something up.
If this was the case they could've recalled and corrected, ditching everything is strange.
My guess is the silicon had fundamental flaws, and it was cheaper to scrap the project than fix the issues and fix it.
The inherent flaw is Qualcomm actually having to properly support one of their chipsets directly to customers for once, something they're apparently really bad at. This box has had some pretty bad press already, mostly due to the software being abysmal.
