How can PSP NOT be the best handheld now?

I don't understand, it has twice the ability of the DS. It's practically like having a PS2 in your hand. Sony has a HUGE library of PS1 classics they could port. Why do we not see games like FF7 yet on the PSP? There's so many extra things you can do with a PSP when modding it.

Sony really screwed the pooch with the PSP. Right now, it should be outselling DS 2:1 and have a lot more AAA games.

Why do you want to see MORE ports on the psp? Too many ports is the very reason the ds did so much better. Why buy a PSP game when you can buy the superior ps2 version of the same game, which was often cheaper?

It's a shame, though. i've bought the psp on more than 1 occasion and been disapointed by it. I have one now, and i thnk i'm about to get rid of it.

You just don't get it. Graphics dont make a purchase.

1. Fun factor (DS wins)

2. Casual Appeal (DS wins)

3. Price (DS wins).

You like PS2 games, then play your PS2.

I wanted a game system that has games that I wasn't playing at home... and the PSP didn't have that for a while after it's release...

Because people don't want a ps2 in their hand, they want actual handheld games that you can play for a few minutes and put away and pick up where you left off later.II-FBIsniper-II

To the TC:

Why do you think the DS is selling so much better? Because maybe it's actually giving people what they want. If you want a PS2, then why not just buy a PS2? Why would I want to buy a PSP? So I can replay the games already on the PS2?

It is the best handheld for me. I can play DJMAX P2 while sitting waiting for my next cIass. I can listen to my music while riding on the bus. And I can watch episodes of television shows at work. It may not be the best gaming handheld but it is pretty much the best portable multimedia entertainment device.foxhound_fox

Because it's not a quick "on the go thing"

That's why I trade my PSP for a DS today. Simply put, most of the time with the DS I can take it out and be playing within 10 seconds. With the PSP I have to wait for load times etc. It's trying to be a mini-console, not a portable device for use wherever I want :)

^^^ so the ds don't get ports? Tnasty11

It does, but it's line up is primarily exclusive. The PSP has some awsome exclusive games now, but they were too little too late as far as I and i'm sure other people were concerned.

the DS gets ports, just very few, usualy have enough extra content to warrent buying again and even then have more generiously placed save points.

The DS hasnt had good games since Mario Kart and Hunters. Phantom Hourglass was ok but I think the PSP has much better games than the DS. God of War,Socom, Syphon Filter, Metal Gear, Patapon, and MLB The Show are all great games that I enjoyed much more than Hunters, Mario Kart, NSMB, Brain Age, and Hourglass.

Its a handheld, do you expect it to play as good as a PS2/PS3? And how are they watered down? They were built specifically for the PSP -the games I mentioned- so what were they watered down from? You keep using the same argument throughout this to thread so I am not going to waste my time. You know how I feel and I know how you feel. The End.

If people didn't want a PS2 in their hands then the PSP wouldn't be selling now would it?

Why is this kind of thread made every week. Nintendo has dominated the Handheld market for years and that wasn't going to change because of the PSP. Nintendo has that market on lockdown.Kingpin0114

Just like they had the console market on lockdown, right? It's not that simple.

Yeah, you hit a nerve. But what about games like Loco Roco, Patapon(great game by the way), Lumines, Exit, and Tokobot are all original games for the PSP. Portable Ops and Dark Mirror both play great and not to mention there online components are great. How about this, name a DS FPS that works well....without cramping your hand(MPH). And do you even have a PSP? God of War had tight controls as did Daxter, Ratchet and Clank, Wipeout, and Ridger Racer. I just like the PSP library more than the DS library.

The difference is that none of those are ports.

I can't get any of those games on any other system or handheld. (COD4 and Assassin's Creed are completely different than the console versions)

With the PSP, I can play the same version of it's games with better graphics and controls.

GBC is the best handheld of all time.TheMysticHorse

No, not even close.

DS is the first handheld that doesn't feel like a watered down console experience.
