I would pick the iPhone out of those 3 and not for gaming. If I had to chose based on Gaming I'd still choose the iPhone because Handheld gaming wouldn't matter much to me.

Lol iPhone.

DS is the greatest handheld of all-time.

Agreed. Btw, you shoulda made a poll tc

i tried, but i'd already made a poll, and it turns out you can only make one poll a day on the Gamespot forums... what a bummer :(

DS is the king of handheld gaming. The previous handhelds didn't stand out all that much and the PSP is really lacklustre in terms of games. The DS wins by a long shot.

DS >>>>>>> iPhone

Sure, the apps are cheap, but nearly all of them are fairly average or worse throw-away games that can't compare to the DS' library.

Mine would be the DS. I have the original one and am happy enough with that. I've play on the PSP before and wasn't so excited about it. If the iphone could get a longer lasting battery I'm sure more people would be interested in it.

I've got to say the DS. The PSP is fun, but the controls really cramp my hands.

Haven't tried the iPhone, but I doubt I'd really use it for gaming.

At the moment I'm playing my DS a lot because of Super Robot Taisen OG Saga Endless Frontier. Once I'm done that, I'll be starting Star Ocean: First Departure on the PSP. So at the moment, PSP = DS > iTouch.

I use to like the psp way more, like thought the DS was a joke.

But recently I figured I would try the new pokemon game since I use to play them and I love the DSi I personally think it is so much better then the psp gaming wise.

The psp is nice with media but I have a phone that plays music so the Ds is the console that wins.

I have all three. Although I use my Iphone the most, it's not for gaming. The only game I find worthwhile on the ds now a days is looking through my old pokemon and reminiscing. The Psp is the best out of the three for gaming for me, but I have been in a hand held drought for a while now...

Easy one for me: PSP. Better games, better graphics, descent online play for portable, they target older gamers than 6 years old.

I perosnally believe the ds is the best because its something different. Something thats not ur average gaming handheld system. That's what i like about it !

(also i like The World Ends With You)

But, i really like some of the games PSP has(FFCC13, Tekken 6 and Bleach: Heat the soul all look awsome)

Ds, then PSP.I have both(expected more titles for the psp than it actually got)...DS is jrpg king too, one of my fav genres.Also more strategy games,more exclusives, more AA and AAA titles.More everything. Oh..the Iphone..is not for decent gaming,expensive, bad controls.Not in the same league.

If that rumored gamepad adapter for the iPhone came out and games started supporting it, I can see the iPhone topping the list or at least coming close to the DS. The iPhone has the hardware and if you've seen some of the latest games (Supercross XL, Need For Speed: Underground, Assassin's Creed) they are VERY impressive, graphically. Much better than the DS and maybe even the PSP. The problem is the lack of a gamepad. The multitouch works great and a lot of games utilize it well, but nothing beats out a gamepad for handheld precision.

DS why?

Huge library of games.

The most quality games.

The most higher rated games.

The most unique, and creative games.

Larger variety of games, AND with that there are some genres that can only be found on the DS.

And, if you have the DS Lite/Phat then you've got 1000+ more GBA titles to choose from which is another of the few systems to ever come out that boasts one of the best libraries of all time.

The system has a consistent flow of great games almost week to week. It's great.

I'd take both over the iPhone. I like the PSP & DS equally right now although the PSP is obviously much better for overall features.
