Reports are swarming the internet claiming that the NVIDIA Shield 2nd Gen rolls out during CES 2017. Actually, two NVIDIA Shield will be available that comes along with a slightly redesigned game controller.

The NVIDIA Shield 2nd Gen comes along with two sizes, however the differences of the upcoming consoles have yet to be hinted. The original NVIDIA Shield did come in two configurations, one with 16GB of storage and the other with 500GB. Nevertheless, both gaming systems had the same size.

The current Gen NVIDIA Shield is currently marked out of stock on the website of NVIDIA, giving indications to the conjecture that fresh NVIDIA Shield TV game consoles are coming. The opportunity for the NVIDIA Shield 2nd Gen to roll out would be at CES 2017, according to Android Police.

In spite of that, given the lack of context, it's possible the smaller gaming system is some kind of design exploration. It's also possible that one of them is just being sold with a refreshed gamepad.

On the other hand, as the Nintendo Switch specifications have leaked ahead of its March 2017 release date, tech critics claimed that the Nintendo Switch is effectively an Nvidia Shield with a few more tweaks. The spec details given to developers by Nintendo seem that the Switch is fueled by an Nvidia Tegra X1 chipset. That's the same CPU and GPU combination packed in the Shield Android TV box, Eurogamer reported.

The existing Shield K1 Tablet has a Tegra K1 processor inside, nonetheless, Nvidia is heavily tipped to be announcing a replacement during the CES 2017, with the Tegra X1 running the show. Thus, the Nintendo Switch might not be as unique as some tech critics suggested. The better news is that the Nintendo Switch becomes more than twice as powerful, in terms of graphics.
