You do understand the price of the NP is $67? The cheapest Shield is $200 without the remote control...that's 3x the price. Add in the remote and you're nearly 4x. Get the 500GB Shield without a remote and that's $300, pushing 5x the price, and exceeding it if you get the remote as well.

You do understand that $67 isn't the normal retail price and that you're comparing a 6-7 month old device (that's not exactly flying off the shelves) to a newly released device. You do also realized that no, it doesn't come with a remote, but it does come with a $60 game controller, something that you'd have to pay extra for with the NP.

As well, your getting more than twice the hardware with the Shield, 16GB of storage, 2 USB 3.0 ports, 3GB of RAM, ethernet and 802.11 AC, built in IR (so you can use your Harmony remote) etc, etc.. And what's the NP got, 8GB of storage, 1 GB of RAM, a mico-USB 2.0 port and pretty much nothing else. You ever heard the expression, "You get what you pay for"?

As for the 500GB model, well, that's just apples and oranges, even against the 16GB model.

Yeah, I get that, but this all stemmed from someone asking the difference between Kodi on the NP and Shield Android TV. There's not much difference between Kodi on each device. Yes, obviously the newer Shield has better specs but it doesn't deliver a Kodi experience that's much different from the NP.
