Nvidia Raises Shield Streaming Device Price by About $100 Despite Its Age

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

The increase puts the ageing device back in focus, with buyers facing a higher price for hardware that has already spent years on the market.

The American company is widely known for its graphics cards and artificial intelligence hardware. Shield is part of its consumer entertainment lineup, serving as a device for streaming content.

The information provided does not specify the affected Shield version, where the increase applies or when the new price takes effect. It also gives no explanation from Nvidia for the decision.

That leaves the central question unanswered: why raise the price now? Without further details, the reason for the increase—and what it means for buyers in different markets—remains unclear.
