Well, here's the thing about that.  Ratchet & Clank definitely is a sequel, but in the EA Sports-Madden-type sense, where there's probably some new features thrown in, new levels that could probably be interchanged from past games, and the same players.  The fact that Sony decided to go the EA route and release what essentially are yearly updates to their franchises has flooded their market with a ton of SOCOMs, Jaks, Ratchet & Clanks, ATV Offroad Furies, etc. and other than a few new things, they haven't changed much, so forgive me if I'm a little underwhelmed at the prospect of ANOTHER Ratchet & Clank game.

A game like New Super Mario Bros., while following a similar formula to the first 4 Mario games, is the first true (side scroller) Mario game in 15 years.  If a new Mario game had been released every 1-2 years form then till now, I probably would've felt the same way about it as Ratchet.  DS titles like the two Castlevania games are sequels, but more in the Final Fantasy sense than the EA Sports type.  The core gameplay is intact from Symphony of the Night, but the characters are new, the stories are completely new, etc.  So that tends to be why I haven't and probably won't own a PSP and why my DS is logging a whole lot of gameplay time right now.svetzenlether

So if they had decided to release R&C: Size Matters and Daxter in 15 years time on the PSP Lite instead then you'd be happier? Fair enough I guess.

You can't go by gamespot scores though.  For sig bets and stuff like that yeah, but I would want to play Phoenix Wright 2 more than Burnout PSP, even though PW2 is a 7.7 game and burnout is a 9.0

The DS is a lot more like the PS2 and the PSP is like the gamecube.  Sure, the PSP gets some amazing games twice a year, but when you need to fill that time in with a bunch of great games that come out at least once every month, you play the DS.

Also, scores are the technical opinion on the GS scale.  Burnout has Great grahpics, sound, replayability, ect. While PW has 2-D sprites, some good music in the backround but not good sound effects, and has no replayability.  PW is just more fun to play though.

I am in no way saying PSP games suck, theres just not too many good ones.  Even the ones I have bought I could play a better version on the consoles, I just wanted a new experiance (Burnout, Ratchet, Pirates, Daxter, Lumines is the only new one I own)
