NVIDIA Shield delayed as 'mechanical issue' pushes launch to July

NVIDIA Shield

No new shipping date given for portable Android gaming console/controller

NVIDIA Shield — the graphics company's ambitious move into the consumer hardware space — will miss its June 27 shipping date because of a "mechanical issue" that popped up during final testing, the company announced today.

It did not say when the handheld gaming device would finally hit customers' hands.

An NVIDIA spokesperson told Android Central:

“During our final QA process, we discovered a mechanical issue that relates to a third-party component. We want every SHIELD to be perfect, so we have elected to shift the launch date to July. We’ll update you as soon as we have an exact date.”

NVIDIA would not disclose the nature of the issue, or which third-party component was the culprit. "Mechanical" sounds like moving parts, however, and there aren't many of them on Shield. (Buttons, the joysticks and d-pad, exhaust fan and the clamshell hinge come to mind.)
