I would have to agree, I play it more than any other system I own. The DS's library is wonderful, there are tons of good gams to play. I wouldn't see why anyone would really not want the handheld.

This is going to turn into another flame war pretty soon.

And yes, the DS is pretty freaking awesome.

If it had more fighters, I'd say it was the best. I used my DS more than my PSP before I did the unspeakable with my firmware. Now I'm waiting for more games to look forward to in future releases, but nothing yet.

I will say that the DS is a good system but iono about the best the touch screen is some what hard to use (may be due to lack of experience tho). I used my PSP till it died and now I'm useing my DS so my mind may change but thats how I see it for now.

Ok, best current system or best current handheld? Though I don't own a 360, PS3, or Wii, I doubt the DS is better than all three of those. But, I do think the DS is the best handheld out there. Sure, the PSP's graphics are amazing, but the DS has such a huge library, full of some real gems (though it could use more fighting games and RPGs).

In the past, I haven't really accumulated what I would call a collection of games for any of the handhelds I've owned (GBC, GBA, SP). Like, I've owned just a few. I have a genuine collection for the DS, and it's going to increase very rapidly in the next year. I still can't get over it. I have a feeling my collection might eventually rival the collections I have for past console systems!

That's true, the DS's library is amazing, full of great RPG's. But even if it is the best, the XBOX 360 is the most popular I here.

The DS is awesome, but lately i've been playing my 360 more than my DS. this summer, when there weren't many good 360 games, it was all about the ds, that's all i played.

the better handheld...yes...the ds is better than the psp imo....but better system as a whole? i would have to say no just cause i see the 360 as being the best in terms of games already out and coming soon...the 360 appeals to a larger audience...thats why im planning on getting one....but ill probably play my ds more cause im not gonna bring my 360 into my dorm...but i can bring my ds to my dorm...and my classes....8)

Saying any system is the best is like saying what do you like better: steak, chicken or pizza? lol

It is a great system though, with a lot of fun games, and it's the highest selling of all systems in the current marketplace... so it's doing pretty well in most minds... :)

As far as handheld systems I think the DS is one of the better ones, I just got a new PSP (my last one broke) the DS games last a lot longer and more fun. Now over all systems, I would have to go with the Xbox 360 or the PS3 over all.

In my family, we have owned basically every console ever made, and I use my DS the most by far.

The DS is probably the best system, if you don't consider the PC.

I much prefare the xbox 360 but ds is definatly the best hand held compared to psp and i phone.psp dosen't have the best library and i phone...lemme put it this way,theres no way you could put a full gta game on the iphone that lives up to the series as well as Chinatown wars did.iphone does have a great library and i love that anyone with a little coding experience can make apps but iphone is more of a "im on the bus,ill play a game for 5 mins" platform

I also think the DS is the best system ever (or at least in this generation) ,but I think this topic is better in system wars just in case of dissenting views.

The DS has the best games to chose from and there are games for everyone, from the youngest to the oldest players. I know the DS is the best game system in this generation up to now.

Okay, the DS has had more RPG's than any other system ever created to date(except for maybe the PS2). And really, the DS doesn't have as great technology as any platform consoles but because of the massive library, I play it more than my Wii and Xbox360. I just got some new games for my PSP so i'll probably be playing it more than usual, but thats not even gonna be half the time I spend on my DS.

I also think the DS is the best system ever (or at least in this generation) ,but I think this topic is better in system wars just in case of dissenting views.

Many people have been saying this but so far around %80 of posters agreed its the best. I guess those 100+ million sales was really saying something.

its my favorite of all systems all times (yes that includes pc) with the ps2 a close running up those consoles i don't own i have tried what makes me put the ds and the ps2 at the top is simply cause they have the games, a console is nothing without unique games, and the ps2 had many exclusives during its time (and still...persona anyone??? ) and the ds got plenty for obvious reasons what makes the ds win over the ps2 is that it offers unique game play which cant be done elsewhere easy to pick up, region free and pure amazing fun

Yes, it is. The Xbox 360 has a good library of games too, but the DS still stands in front of it.

I tell everyone I know that it's the best system. My bro has a 360 but I don't bother playing it, I just pull out my DS :D When you cross such a good system with portibility...you just can't beat that.
