Nvidia Raises Shield Streaming Device Price by About $100, Seven Years After Launch

Nvidia has decided to raise the price of its Shield streaming device by about $100, despite the product having launched seven years ago.

The increase puts the aging device back in the spotlight, with buyers facing a higher price for a product that has already been on the market for years.

The American company is widely known for its graphics cards and artificial intelligence hardware. Shield represents its presence in the streaming-device market.

The available information does not specify the reason for the increase, the markets affected or the device’s new total price. It also does not indicate whether the change comes with any hardware improvements.

That leaves the central question unanswered: why is Nvidia raising Shield’s price now, so long after its launch?
