The real trolls here are the people voting for DS. Come on, guys. Get real. You're not fooling anybody. If you vote DS, at least tick your name off down here and explain why you voted the way you did.

PSP wins on 3D due to superior hardware. NDS however has quite a lot of great looking 2D games. I personally rank it this way: good 3D > good 2D > bad 3D > Bad 2D.

It seems like the best way to deal with a troll is to beat him at his own game, and the TC is definitely trolling.

*sigh*

Look guys, whoever thinks the DS actually has better graphics REALLY needs to see a doctor.

But that doesn't mean the PSP is better. *glares at fanboys*

Good 3D is cool, and so is good 2D, but the games really determine which platform is best.

PSP looks better at 3D DS has some good 3D but it has amazing 2D. Although Games are the only thing that matters.

As for the Poll I said both because I'm still impressed by N64 games when I play them to this day I don't think Graphics ever deterred me from playing a console unless that console was released before 1985 in North America 1983 in Japan.

PSP clearly, do we even need a thread?

However, considering the specs, DS hold up nicely.

PSP has superior hardware, and it's fact. However, that point is completely irrelevant because the DS has games that actually plays like a handheld, rather than a mobile console. Plus the benefits of better battery life never hurts.

Graphics-wise? PSP, of course.

Unfortunately I fear that handheld console graphics is a rather niche fetish.

Those are two different kind of graphics, I don't think it's fair to compare them. Honestly these Dragon Quest IX pics look like they could be PSP pics.
But yeah the PSP has superior graphics, hands down.

This is like comparing the Wii to PS3. We know which looks better by default, so what is the point.

We are not talking about art style people. People who voted NDS are trolling themselves. This isnt even a debate its universally true that PSP has better graphics. Games on the other hand....

I voted both because I think both have great graphics and DS does have some great looking games that are 2D but with 3D it is obviously the PSP that wins.

Technically the PSP blows the DS out of the war. Though artistically I've always liked more of the DS games.

Which do I LIKE better. Well, Nintendo DS graphics, more colorful, simple art styles that don't try to imitate console graphics and just end up looking somewhere between the PS1 and PS2. They actually look like current games. Look at The World Ends With You:

Bright, colorful, and clear. It's obviously not trying to be a console game, and it looks beautiful for what it tries to do. As opposed to PSP graphics....

It's technically superior, but all in all, it's ugly. It looks like Perfect Dark or something. Nothing looks realistic (which is what it's trying to be) and textures are really bad, mainly in that there are none in most areas.

Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story has a very very VERY colorful and fun art **** God of War is probably the handheld graphics king, but compared to the console games it tries to look like, it's bland and has way too many jaggies. The DS games try to be different and look good for what they do.

Obviously not what you wanted to hear.... you wanted confirmation that your system has better graphics. PSP is obviously technically superior, but I don't like the graphics better.

I know he didn't. But some posts here are saying ' i voted DS because artistically blah, blah blah" Well graphics is technical, and art design is artistic.

The real trolls here are the people voting for DS. Come on, guys. Get real. You're not fooling anybody. If you vote DS, at least tick your name off down here and explain why you voted the way you did.

I voted DS because it says "best graphics" not "best technical graphics" because if so then you only need to mention hardware specs and no need for game pics.

Graphics include artstyle aswell you know

I voted DS for the lulz. Because this thread is quite pointless. PSP wins on the technical side, art style is just an opinion.
