Only feature I'm truly missing is the 4K upscaling feature. You can even use Steam Link and connect a controller easily to the ATV. If you truly need the more hardcore audio codecs, sideloading apps, watch a ton of 1080P content, or want to use it as a file server, the shield pro is likely the better option for you. If none of this matters to you, get the ATV 4K.

I really like PS3's fast forwarding streaming video speeds at 1.5x, 10x, 30x, and 120x.
What are this box's fast forwarding speeds?
Why give Nvidia your money for outdated tech? Deprogram yourself, and buy based on specs not on brand loyalty.
Why would you run a game console through the Cube anyway?!? That's not what the HDMI port is for. This is how to get minimum lag 101.
USB2 is 480Mbps, more than 3x bandwidth than any UHD movies that exist. I can stream UHD Blu-rays on USB2 on devices slower than the 3rd gen Cube easy already.
No thanks, at very worst, I can type in an URL for an APK directly into the Shield and it installs.
It use to be the Shield is the fastest, now it's slower than the AppleTV, 3rd gen Cube and even the 2nd gen Cube because of the last buggy Shield Android update.
I'll also add, 3rd gen Cube has NO Audio passthrough for DTS, DTS HD-MA, DTS-X, Dolby TrueHD, & Atmos via Dolby TrueHD... major buzzkill if you want to play blu-ray rips on a decent home theater.
So again, for my use case and anyone else in the same boat I'd say Shield is probably still the best at playing high-fidelity content either on a local drive or somewhere on your local network. If you just want to stream from standard paid services like Amazon, Netflix, Hulu, Paramount+ etc. Amazon Fire devices are uglier and clunkier than Apple and still technically less capable than Shield, so I'd only recommend it for people who absolutely need YouTube HDR, but you could pick up a $30 Fire Stick for exclusively that purpose and then go with one of the others for everything else.
