DS VS PSP

what exactly are you tryin to compare?

graphics? i think basically everyone realizes that PSP does better graphics. And for the target audience of each handheld i dont think the graphics matter.

PSP will go for older people who want to use it for more of a portable media player as well as play some games

DS will go for the younger ones who want a ton of games

as far as games go for me. i outgrew the appeal of a portable system long long ago. but PSP has me interested to play movie files on. dunno if i'll get it. but it has me interested at least.

DS basically i feel will be like any gameboy. so i dont plan on going anywhere near it.

I'm showing graphics. Yes.

I thought that was pretty obvious.

I haven't seen anybody post any DS in-game screenshots... why not compare them to PSP? It's only fair that the two handhelds are put side to side.

*doesn't care much about graphics*

If I want gorgeous games, I'll play them on my console.

Ugh... I hate that I'm even going to state this but...

If DS had better graphics people who like Gameboy would use it as a reason that DS is better... but because PSP had better graphics the people who still want a DS will say Graphics are irrelevant. And yes, it works both ways.

So with that said, I've never been much of a fan of handhelds except before my Pokemon days. But PSP brings games to the table that I am interested it. MGS and Gran Turismo are two of my favorite games... if it has a decent version of Madden and a more classic Tony Hawk (THPS1-3 style), I would say by FAR it's better than DS. I don't care for the extra features all too much, but the game line up is jaw-dropping in my opinion.

I want to play new handheld versions of Mario and Zelda games, so I'll get a DS, it's as simple as that. I was raised on classic Nintendo games, so I need no better reason to think I'll enjoy DS. That said, PSP looks fantastic. I'm afraid it just has too many features which will up the cost. I don't need a portable movie player or whatever else it does...I just don't...I'll play my Sony titles on the big screen.

PSP graphics are awesome for a handheld, and so are DS's (though PSP is the superior, as I conclude from the given screenshots)... but I like 2D games on my handhelds. I'm hoping that PSP and DS won't kill 2D gaming in the way that Playstation and N64 did.
