PSP vs DS?

I have had both ads and psp twice and got both on launch

1 ds grey/1 ds lite: sold last one after beating zelda

2 psp 1000: still own 1

From my viewin this case i think it isclear cut what system is more enjoyable all around

PSP beats DS hands down in current games, future games,price, online play, and overall utility

Most importantly to me...

DS does have a larger section of games a smallamount of them are worth playing unless your much older/much younger/casual "with exception"

While PSP does have its share of bad games too there seems to be much much less horrid and not only because of the smaller libary

Nintendo Online is a joke i know a few games like mario kart are ready to go online But friends codes while safe are the worst thing to come to online gaming

Before you post angry replys keep in mind im not knocken people that like ds

and while ithink 90% of allcasual games are tricks to make cheap game for a quick profit

I know many would disagree

Gameboy :P

Hate the DS,touch screen is terrible,only a few good games in my opinion.

PSP,I just hate it. No reason to it,there is just something I don't like about it.

Gameboy owns all.

PSP, DS games are so basic to me, and I know someone is going to cite the huge library, but the only ones I find interesting (and the only reason I still have a DS) is castlevania.

PSP is good, but the DS has so much WIN amounted in such a little package.

Never laughed so much for a long time. i own both and like both, but i LOVE my ds. at my school there is this guy how has a psp, all he does is sit on the stairs and he plays it by himself, alone, while me and my mates have the time of our lives with mario kart, pokemon, ecc...(poor guy...)

Yeah compared to the next gen consoles but there are a few must play games on both consoles

Im playing Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core right now on psp nothing seems basic about it

I not a Final Fantasy Fan BoyI enjoy some of them and have only beat FF VII and FF VIII

And I can honestly say i haven't had this much fun in a Final Fantasy game since VIII and thats in my top 5 rpgs ever

and not thats not the only great game IMO i think theres a good amount that are better/exculsive

said the sony fanboy... anyway about that blog, i did a poll(not on gamespot) a very big poll(sorry about how i wrote it though, i was rushinggamedude234

DS for me by far :D

PSP is still a decent handheld but it just dosent interest me...

Wow 8v8 tie so far. Own 'em both, like 'em both but DS by a longshot.

Never laughed so much for a long time. i own both and like both, but i LOVE my ds. at my school there is this guy how has a psp, all he does is sit on the stairs and he plays it by himself, alone, while me and my mates have the time of our lives with mario kart, pokemon, ecc...(poor guy...)

DS for me, dawg. I have a PSP, but It's literally collecting dust as I have long since gotten bored of all my games. I'm gonna take a pic of it once it gets a good amount of dust collected on it.

I don't go to school anymore...

i have a friend that has a DS and he doesn't play it at all (Poor Guy) lol like your example thats just one guy (pointless) 8 )

While me and my friendsplay together against other peoplewhile they are stationed in Japan andGermany

With more then 4-8 players and without the pain of finding friends codes

I have6 online"not ad-hoc"games right now and i play them all regularly

both mario kart and pokemon while fun don't bring much new to the table Admitted "mario kart online was one of the first good online portable games" I found them to having much less replay value then the originals.

lol enjoy playing ds by all means

but for 99$ a psp 1000 is worth a second look if i were you

The DS by a very far margin. PSP is alright.OreoMilkshake

Why by a very far margin?

I can see thinking the ds is better but i think to say its a far margin is going much to far lol

especially without giving any reasons why

To midnightshade29:I am sorry, but did you say that only random 10 year olds play pokemon and mario kart? with all due respect sir, here in Europe, Pokemon are in the top 10 or top 5 best ds games. Many adults teenagers, ecc... play Mario kart as well, it is probably one of the funnest games ever. they are also the way I got to know the wonderful world of nintendo.

By the way guys, in case u missed it, i own both and i don't think the psp is garbage, as i said i like both.

LOL i just read the profile mega sony denial

listen sorry about that blog OK, it was just a stupid rumor... i should be glad there is competition so nintendo and MS can make better consoles! Anyway by the sound of it, u have not played your ds properly... have u tried the all time nintendo greats yet?gamedude234

I work in a used gamestore (NOT GAMESTOP) I try to play almosteverything for all consoles

and because just because i don't like 90% of the DS and Wii games doesn't mean im playing them wrong.

And just becuase 90% of the games are worthless to me personally doesn't me i don't respect and love the 10% that are great i just play them for free

since it seems theres only one per year...

Bought both on launch (though the a phat DS during the japanese launch). Both systems are excellent. The PSP has much stronger technicals / features, however the DS offers something unqiue. Thats the big dividing gap. However. This all really boils down to what type of games you like.skrat_01

I like games that i can truely call art

Not countless Copy and Paste games that dominate my librarys

I wish they would tone it down a little on thecasual games and focus thatmoney and time on delayed games like Splinter Cell Conviction, Zelda, star craft 2

thats just me tho

Wtf, PSP is more popular? As a GAMING console, DS butchers it. DS has a library that rivals home consoles.

It depends on my mood and where I'm going. The DS I have no problem carrying around, because it has a very good battery life, and I can shove it anywhere without fear of breaking it. The PSP on the other hand...I usually play it at home. If I'm playing something like Monster Hunter, there's no way I can feel secure about turning the thing on, and having the battery die on me at a critcal moment. I could plug it in an outlet, but if I'm somewhere like a hangout, then I'm SOL ;).DethSkematik

you do know when you turn it off/ run outta battery it turns right back on in the same place? like stand by or sleep

i have a 1000 so im guessing they all do it

my battery has 8 hours charge prob more with sound and wifi off depending on the game too

DS does have a great battary life tho

PSP for me... not interested in the DS and its games library (or better say only a few titles interest me)...

Also with all the great upcoming exclusives for PSP the future looks brighter :)

dylanmcc

i beg to differ

only thing the ds butchers is meat in cooking mama jp

im intrested in what games those might be i know theres some great ones but... id like to see your current ds game collection guessing its like 2-4 games and my prob play it once a week if even

maybe or maybeyou just love playing mario kart pokemonand zelda over and over since they are better then console games lol

agreed about the core gamers

But the causual gamers from were im standing put lots of money into games that are no better made then flash games the i can play free on the web

Thats great for profit stand point

But bad for people that dislike those games

many of us who have been gamers since the early 80s (can't speak for everyone)

Are left waiting for a few gems while week after week new games for casual gamers flood the stores

Cry when Great Games like Age of Conan go underplayed/suported because casualcomplainabout pvp every where

And Unique games like Star Wars Galaxy are forced to dumb down the entire game Used to take a year or more to become a jedi

Lose hope when games likezelda and Splinter Cell Conviction get delayed while wii active ship out.

DS is far better, I got a PSP last year and regret it, so manyterrible games.

As much as I am against stubborn fanboys, I must point out that the following are FACTS.

1. Statistically speaking, the DS has many more quality games that the PSP.

2. The PSP has better hardware, but that doesn't matter in the slightest since there are relatively almost no great games for it.

3. For the majority of gamers, the DS is the must-own handheld of this generation. No ands ifs or buts.

PSP easily. The big difference between the DS and the PSP is that PSP games are actually fun. You can play real GTA on the PSP, exactly how it was on the PS2,and a dumbed down version on the DS.

DS for me, I enjoy more of its library. The psp is eh I regret buying it, not much fun. Also, if you want to bring it's other funtionalities in, the DSi can do most of them too, and you still have access to a great library.

wow 50-50, personally i was pleasantly suprised by the psp, after being fairly dissappointed with the ds (got it a year after launch), and coming to the conclusion that handheld gaming wasn't for me, i decided to sell it.

i came across a psp for £40 a few months ago and thought i'll try it out, and ended up enjoying it much more than i thought i would. currently playing metal gear acid 2 on it which is great. so for me psp wins.
