Earlier this week, Apple introduced new Apple TV hardware that includes support for gaming. Other platforms such as Android TV have been offering gaming capabilities well before Apple’s. The SHIELD set-top box, for example, is really the ultimate gaming set-top box. NVIDIA’s Android TV device allows for console-level gaming, 4K streaming, and access to Google Play’s hefty catalog of games, music, movies, and television shows. So NVIDIA decided to point out all of the advantages that its set-top box has over Apple’s.

Here are the SHIELD set-top box features that match or best Apple TV:

  • Inclusiveness of Android TV (supports iOS devices)
  • Voice search, voice commands
  • Google Play
  • 4K streaming
  • NVIDIA GRID, GameStream access

NVIDIA finished its explanation with a graphic that shows which device is a fit for you. Unaware of what “streaming” is? Stick with just a television. Don’t require decent performance? Something like a Chromecast or Roku set-top box will do. If you made it past those questions, NVIDIA feels you are ready to choose between its SHIELD set-top box and Apple TV.
