Had a Nexus Player for some time. Thinking of upgrading to a Shield, but I gotta ask myself "why?". Are there games available that demonstrate that the hardware in the Nexus isn't adequate?

You'll only benefit if you start looking at the ported games like upcoming Borderlands and Metal Gear. That being said, the Shield is just generally more future proof if you consider 4k support, so it may have a payoff in a year or two.
If you don't need it don't buy it. I have NP and its running great.
There's the TegraZone , which has many games optimized for the processing power of X1. Also, high-end emulators won't be optimized/ perform as well on NP.
I got the shield simply for gamestream and grid streaming. That would be the big bonus you gain from upgrading.
Also, the shield is FAST, very snappy and smooth navigation.
