wth? anyway. People HAVE DS's. its just people like you that make it "uncool" to "show" other people them. I play Pokemon on the computers in school and everyones like.. omfg thats awesome.. how did you do that.. i want that.. but if i brougth my DS, it'd be.. wow you have a GAY-S! but whatever. I play my DS all the time an dlove it. PSP is cool, but i honestly don't need it. i have an MP3 (much better than carrying a 2lb brick). I also have superior(in my mind) games. So really... to me the DS is better.

Its strange.. DS kills PSP worldwide... however in the US its close... i'm not even joking it is... but yeah.. i still think that DS is king of this gen. Next gen.. i somewhat doubt it wil hold on as well. Adults that bought DS aren't the kind of people that Upgrade thigns. They are hte people that still have a toaster from 1970. If it toasts bread, its good. If its plays brain age, its good.

So yeah. If they do a DS2 it will not do as good. If its a GB3, then i'll be happy, and if they do both, well they win for sure.

If you want to call it a war it might as well be the US of A vs. Anarctica

I have a DS Lite, had it sinceJune of last year. There was very few good games for DS then, today there are plenty of games. I'm waiting for DS to get its first true head-2-head fighter. Ultimate MK3 is coming next month, it will be a direct arcade to handheld port with extras thrown in like online play. :D

They're really wasn't a portable war... The PSP is much more a multi media device than a gaming system.

I would say now with the slims release, it's about evened out. But the DS won along time ago, and is still better if you want to game.

LMAO! Are you seriously deeming the PSP victorious?
For the record, I see more DS' in public than the PSP, and plus the DS has already completely obliterated the PSP. The DS has sold well over 50 million units worldwide, compared to the PSP's 25 million. With DQIX, NG :DS, FFXII:RW, Advance Wars: Days of Ruin, Mario Party DS, the DQ remakes, the FFIV remake, Contra IV and FFCC: The Ring of Fates ALL on their way still I don't forsee the PSP gaining any kind of momentum on the DS. Not to mention that the DS is bound to get a price drop in the near future.

Meanwhile, what does the PSP have? FFVII:CC and GoW: CoO? How's that supposed to last PSP owners for the next couple of years?

Whoah, there's a portable war? Wow, I always thought that Nintendo was going for one demographic and Sony was going for another. Never realized they were competing with each other. :roll:

At this point, both systems have a clearly-defined strategy and game library for a gamer to be able to pick their preference. Sales-wise, the DS has it won though. Surprisingly, both are popular with casual gamers.

Your prediction is frightfully realistic. Have you seen how much Wii Play has sold? Uncanny.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Both parties seem to be not even competing directly..........

Which is no surprise really. And both are selling well.

War? What war? I don't think Nintendo has ever so much as acknowledged any handheld competitors. They've completely dominated the handheld market since the original Gameboy and current sales indicate that's not going to change anytime soon.

psp droped the slim.. it looks like sony rapped up this part of the war

i mean now i never see any one with a ds but plenty with psps in ,fact all my friend have psps and only one of thought with a DS

im calling it its over horay

footfoe2

What color is the sky in your world? the DS is a much better game system than the PSP.

The PSP is a jack of all trades and master of none.....I gladly sold my PSP a few weeks ago. There were about 3 good games for it and loads for the DS.

Note to Sony: Stop cramming useless multi-media functions into your console and portable units and focus on games.

I don't need to watch movies, record TV, listen to music, look at pictures, or injure my hands to the point of needing surgery for carpal tunnel syndrom by using your products.....hey Sony...it's the games stupid!!!!

i think they both won. they both sell vary well, have great games,and have great line-ups. And with the new PSP out the psp will sell even more, and sony did a good job entering the handheld world dominated by nintendo because many have tried and many have failed o so bad

Is that why the PSP has 2x the amount of AA games than the DS on GS? Good logic, kid.

I guess it depends on the area. Where I live, DS rules. Out of my friends, only one owns a PSP, and he uses it for music only. For games, he bustes out his DS. When I goto conventions, every PictoChat room is filled and packed. For every 1 PSP I see someone play, 5 more DS are around.

The DS wins but the PSP isn't going to die away like the Game Gear. So while there isn't a war going on both are doing well.

The DS was never threatened by the PSP in the first place. This is not to say the PSP is a bad console but there was never a chance of it outselling the DS.

Ya maybe here. PSP has more games on it that doesnt mean they are better. Most of pSP games are ports, so the AAs are mostly filler.

DS has more 3 more AAAs on Game Rankings.

AAAs are way more important. besides that most pf PSP respectable game consist of sports and Ps2 ports.

So first sheep complain that DS has more games, then better games, now that more doesn't necessarily mean better?

And no, the majority are not ports, and even so the ports are damn good ones. PSP did what no one else could do and take a substantial part of the market share from nintendo in comparison to everyone else who tried, if anything, Sony did the most damage during the portable fiasco.

Ya do you understand what you are saying that the PSP did good because it was able to hold onto the DS leg as it goes as the fastest selling system ever. LOl congratulations.

No DS did the most damage because the PSP has lost Sony money and has not sold well. Also Nintendo has consolidated the future handhelds with complete ownage.

I wouldn't say the DS absolutely has better games because everybody has their opinions. I love the DS (I even have it as my sig), but honestly, there are some games on PSP that I would love to play. FF7: Crisis Core, God of War, Tekken, Ridge Racer (or should I say, Riiiidge Raaacer!!!), etc
