When you go by game SCORES, the PSP DESTROYS the DS!

The PSP is definitely the better handheld as far as games go. The DS is a gimmick handheld. I have proof! Here at GamSpot, the PSP has more AAA + AA games than does the DS. The PSP has only 5 AAA games compared to the DS' 7, however, it is in AA land that the PSP far surpasses the DS. Links are below:

Those links aren't working for me, but I'd still like to chime in that you can't call the DS a gimmick, since it has been consistently trouncing all other platforms in sales for quite some time.

My point exactly, already released games for the DS trump the PSP. Period. 

although i bought two, the touch screen is most definitely a gimmick

So DS has more superb rated games, has been dominating sales charts everywhere, and is mocked considerably less than the PSP....... yep its a gimmick

The DS has much better original series than the PSP in my opinion.  With the PSP, it's more of the same, but with the DS, the games have character, and you see some interesting concepts because of the touch screen.

The PSP is tailored to one type of gamer, while the DS is tailored to a wider audience. 

Touch screen a gimmick? :lol:

Call me when PSP has a game that can touch EBA.

The PSP clearly is better, I mean they had the talking pubes! Not to mention their latest ad campaign that is a complete ripoff of Cheeze-its.
Cheeze-its = "Get your own box."
PSP = "Dude, get your own."

When you go by game SCORES, the MOBILE DESTROYS the PSP/DS.

The MOBILE is definitely the better handheld as far as games go. The PSP and DS are gimmicks. I have proof! Here at GamSpot, the Mobile has more AAA + AA games than PSP/DS. Links are below:

No it isn't. It's taking the PS2 quality games, and making them worse. That's all it's doing. Burnout, Metal Gear, Daxter, Tekken. All PS2 games dumbed down to portable form. Lumines is the only original game for PSP that's good, might I point out it made it's way over to another platform in the process.

PlaystationPORTable

Its a good system but please don't compare it to the beast that is the DS.

edit: I mean DS bah I'm dumb! lol

Phoenix Wright is a clickfest
Pokemon... again? A kids game? Please.
FF remakes don't really count anymore, they're all over the place.
Castlevania's system is already getting very, very old.
Trauma Center is decent, but still a minigame at heart.
Hotel Dusk doesn't need the touch screen.  Could have been infinitely better on PSP.

I'll give you Elite Beat Agents, other than that, DS is just like the Wii, full of shallow minigame gameplay. 

sony is KNOWN for rpgs

i know people who bought a psp really expecting some solid rpg experiences

what do they get? action rpg ff.. no DQ... no rpg even close to scoring MnL:PiT level.. and yippee ports you could play using emulation

most anticipated rpg... level5's game...

"DS is just like the Wii, full of shallow minigame gameplay. " whats interesting is one of the biggest genres in development for the platform seems to be strategy games...

Trauma Center a mini-game? Wow... seriously, kudos... you fanboys just have the worst vocabulary descriptors ever...

Castlevania still scores solid, and is a great game, not to mention PSP fanboys are clamoring for one and now they get one.

Hotel Dusk uses more than a touch screen, but someone who didn't play it wouldn't know... Trace Memory did the same thing... Plus Phoenix Wright games are just easier to manage with the touch screen, and the fourth game will be akin to the 5th chapter of PW:AA

Pokemon sells, and scores well. Something wrong with a great game? No, you're just bitter, that's all.

Oh that's right, those are original IPs. Silly me, cows don't like to try something new. They like to make sure they are playing a game they might like based on a name.

I want a PSP more than a DS.

It looks better.

GameSpot isn't the sole deciding factor on whether games are good or not.  Now, if you were to give my a list of PSP/DS game scores which were averages from many, many reviews (GameRankings, cough cough) then you might have something.

But anyway, the way I see it PSP vs. DS is like SNES vs. Genesis: simply a matter of preference.  There's not a clear winnder between the two.

Hotel Dusk doesn't need the touch screen. Could have been infinitely better on PSP. But it isnt on the psp

I think that there are only 5 or so minigames out there among the DS' massive library
 

Phoenix Wright alone is more awesome then any PSP game.

The scorces are more of a tie at first. But the DS has more games with a rating of 9 while they both tie at 9.1 and 9.2 so I think PSP is loosing to the DS. :P

ok everything in red is just a minigame or mingame compilation that last for hours on end, the blue is just laughable, the brown can be compared to puzzle bobble, bust a move/groove or other similar games. Nintendogs is pretty much tamogochi nintedo edition. WTF is that? But i will give you the black

Only problem is you aren't mentioning games, just characters... if you can find Star Fox Command, NSMB/Mario & Luigi PiT, LoZ: PH, and more on other consoles, kudos, and tell me where. Last I checked, they were only on the DS, not to mention Trauma Center, Lunar Knights, Trace Memory, Hotel Dusk, Castlevania games, Brain Age, Nintendogs, Meteos, Metroid Prime: Hunters, Mario Kart DS, Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, and soooo much more.tazzydnc

also so do Final Fantasy III, Chocobo Tales, Etrian Oddyssey, FFT A2, FF: RW, ASH, Phoenix Wright, and I'm sure there's more. Yet you can look it up yourself. DS has the sequels of some of the best franchises in new games, also many redone for the DS like Ninja Gaiden DS, and many new games like Brain Age, Nintendogs, PW, and well I won't repeat myself  but you can see.

Scores are opinions, and therefore cannot be used to determine the universal quality of a game. There is no universal good or bad. Different people have different tastes, and anyone who takes the word of a reviewer as the word of god needs their head examined. The quality of games is a purely subjective matter.

This thread is pointless. Both systems are great, and most people have already made their choice between the two. 

Looking at a meaningless list of scores will not change anyone's mind.
