PC hardware company Nvidia dropped quite the CES bombshell tonight, revealing a quirky new gaming handheld that doubles as an Android device as well as a means of streaming your PC games to a portable 720p display.

Totally unnecessary product.
1.. Android gaming marketplace is barren. Whatever few good games there are, are available elsewhere. I have a Galaxy Nexus and I have 2 games in total. Never have I ever felt like I needed a PS3 controller to play them better.
2. Most mobile games are designed with touch in mind, and most of the gameplay is also touch-based. I.E. the game mechanics are forgiving and simple. Playing them with a controller might seem boring and unexciting.
3. The fact that you can play most STEAM games with a 360 controller on your TV makes this entire device completely and utterly unnecessary.
I guess nVIDIA was making too much money so they figured they blow a few millions on this.
