This is a funny story if not a cool one. The NVIDIA Shield 2 was apparently far enough along in development that not only were papers filed with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the United States (USA) but also far along enough for development units to have been made. At least one was made and could get out of the company and onto a pawn shop shelf where it was purchased recently by a keen-eyed gamer.
Earlier this year, NVIDIA filed papers with intent of creating the NVIDIA Shield 2. Unfortunately, that has not yet occurred, it could happen still though so never say never.
That has not stopped someone from within the company getting a development unit out and then selling it to a pawn shop in Canada. All it took was a keen-eyed gamer to see this unit for it to find a new home. According to the Reddit post, the member saw the unit and traded in his old NVIDIA Shield portable to help pay for the development unit. How cool is that?

Anyone here have a prototype or development unit of a gaming console or device?
