when i broke my DS, i looked at the PSP in a closer veiw, and i found otu that the PSP is WAY more worth it that the DS. here are my ppoints
you cnat hold music on the DS
you cant hold video on the DS
Ds graphics suck
PSP has GOOD games.
psp has internet
psp is more confortable to hold
the ds only sells more because its for smaller kids that their parents are looking for a cheap system to keep their kids entertained. the PSP if for about 12 year olds and up because it hold music, videos and better games for a little more money it is worth it though, my PSP keeps me entertained for hours..

There are allot of fallacies in you post. The problem with the psp is that sony wanted to sell their gaming system as a hand-held multi-media system, which personally was good for me, but bad for the majority of people. For me, the PSP is great, I love all its functionality, but if you have an iPod or something similar there isn't much reason to use its extra applications, an iPod takes care of music and video.
Now saying that the DS graphics suck is something that is subjective but besides that graphics have never been the focus of portable gaming, what is most important is that the games are good. Now the PSP does have good games, but the problem is that it doesn't have nearly as many great games as the DS. The PSP just isn't the best portable videogame system. Portable gaming is for on the go gaming that's played in unusual places for short bursts. The PSP has loading times which digs into the limited time you have for your portable gaming, and as for playing it in a non-typical place, well... have you ever tried playing your PSP outside? I have, and in any natural light it is almost impossible to see the PSP screen, I even tried using it outside on a overcast day, and I still couldn't see the screen.
The PSP does have internet, but it's a poor browser, and surfing the web is always better on a computer, but if the PSP is the only option that you have, then I guess that its better then none. And as for being more comfortable, that is subjective too.
Now, you say that "the DS is for smaller kids" but what I hear is "I'm talking from my ass" do you have any proof of this, any links, any statistics to back your claim? No, you don't, because what you just said is not true. I know plenty of older people who play DS over PSP and as for PSP being more expensive DS- $130 PSP-$170. It is more expensive, but not THAT much more expensive. I highly doubt that $40 is the reason that PSP is selling poorly in comparison to the DS.
