DS VS PSP

[tarakan69]

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.

the nintendo 64 did way better than the dreamcast because of games. sure the graphics were better on the dreamcast, but it didn't boil down to that.

the black and white gameboy did better than the color sega gamegear. the gamegear had wayyy better graphics, but nintendo killed em. that is due to games, and battery life.... depending on the price of the psp, i might just get both, but i'm definately getting the ds because of the games.

Nintendo is doing Metroid hunters to remind us a little of what goldeneye was on the 64, mario 64 because, well it's mario 64. all we need now is a new waverace, super smash brothers, and starfox.

originally i knew i was going to get a PSP and not a DS, but sony is so far behind, and it reminds me a lot of the n-gage as far a looks go. I'm just used to flip designs now.

1. The Dreamcast came out 3.5 years after the N64. Stupid comparison.

2. Game Gear drained 6 batteries in 2 hours. (I have one) and was a brick.

3. The new Metroid is Prime: Echoes in worse graphics (the multiplayer at least


This makes DS look like a toy. GBA:SP is nice and cool... DS is not.

The DS makes me crap my pants. Kickass wireless functions, touch screen to draw, microphone support to talk to your games (like Fire Emblem.. commanding your troops =o) and to talk to other people... man. PSP may play games and movies, but.. DS.. Oh god. Oh SNAP.

Really, the battery life for the PSP is going to be like, what, 2.5 hours. That's no good for a plane ride.

Just the GAMES on the DS.. christ, I've always wanted an Animal Crossing portable version, and the Wario Wares sounds AWESOME.

PSP is the same old crap. GT game, MGS game. Sure, it's got a big screen, nice graphics. I can't imagine having FUN with it like I will with the DS.

Besides, (damage control), that's not the final design and name for the DS.. they've said that.
