More importantly, does the Nvidia Shield run it significantly better? Or does the Xperia Play run it just fine?

The Nvidia Shield is a lot more powerful so I assume if either were capable of running it problemless I guess it's the Shield?

The shield can run Soul Calibur at 2x resolution at 60fps of average. Is pretty powerful and still until a new contender comes out, raw power speaking is still the fastest and strongest cpu/gpu out there.

Shield runs it a lot better than Xperia Play. Not all games are full speed on Shield but most are, and the toughest ones can usually be made playable by applying a little frameskipping (GTA runs really well at frameskip 1, for example). There is a GPU driver bug on Shield that causes artifacts to appear in a few games like Wipeout, this can be worked around by using non-buffered rendering.

Xperia Play will only run simpler games at full speed.
