Nvidia Shield Sells Out Worldwide as 2 Models Vanish Amid Component Shortage

Summary
Nvidia Shield has sold out globally, with the Pro model marked out of stock and the non-Pro version removed from Nvidia’s website.
Nvidia said the streaming box is sold out because of demand, pushing back on user speculation that Shield has been discontinued despite the broader component shortage.
Earlier this year, Nvidia said it was considering new hardware with AV1, HDR10+ and expanded Dolby Vision support, while pledging continued software support for Shield.
The sellout leaves Shield unusually positioned in streaming hardware: unlike Apple TV, Fire TV, Roku and Google TV Streamer, it has not yet seen a price increase tied to shortages.
