The DS...whyyyy?

Can someone explain to me the appeal of the DS? I owned the DS twice(TWICE!!) and both times I traded it in to buy psp stuff(first time to buy the psp system, the second time to buy psp games lol)!! That's right, psp games...as in better graphics...better sound...ps1 classics....better games period...And now i hear they are making a DS with twice the screen size! they actually wanna amplify this crap they call graphics? No wayyy i am buying a DS for a third time. Fool me once or twice, shame on you, fool me uh..three times, shame on me(something like that lol). And no i am not just flame baiting(well maybe a little), but the DS is an overrated piece of crap and history will prove the psp is a superior handheld.

3DS is the successor. NOT a DS.

Maybe the DS is a bit overpriced. But at least it has the support. Look at the PSP! How often do you even get a release? How often is it a quality title? I'd say they're about even. The PSP has much better online/online store, but the DS is more original and has better exclusives. Seriously, we have Mario, Zelda, Starfox, Metroid(kinda). What have you got? Dead or Alive: Paradise? (Ok you got MGS Peacewalker) So in the end, they're even.

Games are more fun. PSP games feel like handheld PS2 games. Handhelds appeal mainly to kids. DS games are better to just pick up and play than PSP games.

I love the DS. Lot's of great games, excellent battery life, easy portability. Graphics and tech have never been my concern as far as handheld gaming is concerned.

Ditto. What I was gonna say.

You're supposed to actually play games on it. That probably explains why you didn't have any fun. Silly boy.

The Ds for games I like are: SMT: Strange Journey, SMT: Devil Survivor, Dark Spire,Shiren the wander Knights of nightmare, AGe of empires mythology, Civ rev, Eterian Odessey 1 +2, Clash of Heroes, Orcs and Elves, 3 Castlevania games, FF 3 and 4 remakes, Advanced Wars, ffta2 and 3 Dragon Quest games. All the

DS games I like are Console sized games, just like the PSP games that are console sized games. I prefer them. I don't care for Cooking mama, dora the explorer and the countless other junk kid games and shovel ware on the DS. I love the games I listed for the ds, but frankly they would all look and play better on the PSP..

The PSP rocks for graphics and sound and it feels like a SNES controller i love it! It also has pick up and play games the minis and gmaes like Half minute hero, lumines, Pinball Heroes, Creature defense etc..

Bottom line is both have great games (DS has more shovelware though) But If those DS games i like were made on PSP..they would be better. None of the games I own for the DS do I use the stylus...except for nights of the nightmare which actually uses it well, and still remains hardcore.

So did you make this account today or yesterday?

Well you have your opinion I guess, but DS has FAR more games that are worth playing imo, and I do own both handhelds.

the ds is the best piece of gaming technology out right now it just haqs everything in the dsi just takes the cake but i prefer my pink ds lite tho:)

I don't play my DS much anymore but it does have great games and has more support than the PSP. I still enjoy my PSP more through despite the support for it is kinda small.

We have a name for people like you. And no, it's not stupid (even though it's just as fitting)

There, I took the trollbait. I insulted the OP, whose obviously never played a videogame before the year 2001

The games my friend, the games.

Because the PSP plays PSone type games, like games that should be played on a console.

The DS plays like it's supposed to, games meant for a handheld, portable.

Says the guy with a "decapitated" Reggie profile pic (poor guy)

Ds sucks. All it did was collect dust for me. I did enjoy one game on it, Professor layton...but if i wanna solve brain teasers, I'd buy a friggin brain teaser book! Phoenix Wright...it was ok, gets boring really quick trying to look for clues and reading text... New Super mario...ok, nothing special...and...that's all the games i remember that were actually decent. and oh yeah, mario kart(even tho the online blows).

The games i have for psp blows ds games away. SORRRRYY i don't wanna play uh, pokemon or..or..princess peach game.

These are the type of games i wanna play:

God of War

FF tactics

FF Crisis Core

Lunar remake

soul calibur

patapon

star wars battlefront

AND...not to mention all ps1 classic games like ffvii, resident evil, metal gear solid, etc

And if you think the psp is a failure lol...psp is the #1 selling hardware in Japan(the 2nd biggest game market in the world).So there will be more great games coming for psp. The DS can look forward to pokemon Platinum super gold edition lolololol

ok flame on lol

You made several mistakes in this post:

a) The PSP is not the #1 selling hardware in Japan. It has actually #2 behind the DS in total sales.

b) Japan is not the 2nd biggest game market in the world. It has since fallen to #3 behind the United Kingdom.

c) The DS is expecting several high-profile games other than the next main Pokemon games (Black and White).

[QUOTE="Loco_Live"][QUOTE="HarlockJC"] I agree and it has one of the best library of games on any system I have owned. Clank-PS-Snake

a) yeah thats why i said 'selling' not 'total sold'

b) You are comparing japan to like 15 countries? why? My point is that Japan is a major player in publishing console games, esp for a system like a psp.

c) Oh..goooood for you.. lol :p

If you really want to be a douche about it, look at it this way...

the majority of "fantastic games" on your PSP are ports from the DS, or remakes of games from older systems. When you can come flash a handful of fantastic new IPs for the PSP's lineup, then you can be as much of a jerk as you want. Until then, all you're doing is showing how much of a blind fanboy you are.

pspfanboy6

Instead of bringing up the European Union (which is an unfair as it is a economical bloc), I will replace it with the United Kingdom that has since replaced Japan as the #2 game market.

ok, you're bringing facts and logic into this ^_^;; i was just expecting some fanboy arguing lol... hey thats pretty interesting. Where did you find this stat?

The PSP don't have some of the greatest games on there. If you were to do a list of the top games this generation with console and handhelds you may see the first PSP game in the top 30 or top 50. Besides PSP dont have Ninja Gaiden
