NVIDIA's SHIELD series has been expanding at a slow but steady pace since its inception nearly two years ago (yes, it really has been that long). Now the newest iteration is being launched alongside Google's thoroughly updated Android TV. What was initially teased as a console-style platform is actually a high-spec set top box which lives within Google's Android TV platform but offers much, much more. For clarity's sake, this new product will simply be called ?SHIELD? while the SHIELD Tabled and SHIELD Handheld will continue their respective existences.
