I've heard some thoughts like mine, the only real reason I don't like Nintendo as much as Microsoft Studios and the like, is that Nintendo seems like a real money stealer and especcially since it targets the younger buyers (we know they do! colourful graphics and younger ratings) like come on, why do they realease a fricking 50 systems and their famed "poke me mom" has like 50 releases also... and they all come out relativly close. Microsoft has few game systems, all good quality and they add features and such (plays music, can play dvds, awsome games, XBOX live...) instead of putting new systems costing 100's on the market.

Thats my personal view on the subject and Master Chief kicks Samus Arans ass!

Microsoft has few game systems

Microsoft has ONE game system. MS Studios was fine on PC, but I don't think they belong in the consule market. PSone outsold them during the 2002 holiday season. I see no games of any considerable desire that have been released on Xbox, at all. Halo is also available for PC, and eventually, Halo 2 will be. PS2 and PS1 could play music, PS2 can play DVDs, without a scam of $30 for one to "unlock" the DVD functionality. I also agree that Pokemon has too many games, but that's Japan hard at work, trying to suck kids with no brains in, not Nintendo of America. But it's not like they do anything to stop them. Sure, Xbox may statistically have the best graphics, but graphics does not equal a quality gaming experience. The controller is greatly overrated, and the "Controller S" was a very smooth way to slowly kill their sad excuse for a controller when the system launched.

And Metroid has been around longer than Halo, so my personal view is that I've found Metroid to be a tad bit more enjoyable than Halo.

The screen shots of the PSP in EGM are kinda weak? Does that trouble anyone else?

Actually, Nintendo had begun development of the DS in the same year they were finishing the GC. And I find it funny that you all already say that the GC is dead. Because, you see, that's not what I've heard. Especially considering that both Metroids, Wind Waker, and Super Smash Bothers: Melee are among the best games out there. The one continuity that I find is that when a really good game comes out for a Nintendo system, X-Box owners grab onto any scrap of supposed "something" that makes it bad, and fight with that tooth and nail. Similar to how Nintendo fanboys ridicule KOTOR and Halo without actually playing them.

Realy thats not wat i heard but let me fill u in on the psp. At its thickest its about 23mm and it weighs about 260g. It has dual shock control, and an analouge stick. Its widescreen, the graphics can easily be compared to that of the ps2 and a USB 2.0 for hardware and peripherals, ye know digital camera, headphones/mic remote commander, keyboard and probably gps device. Also a memory stick port for storing data game saves but u can store music, movies and other things ( evil face ) And of course u can download via its WI FI network connectivity turning it into an online gaming machine enabling u to play people all over the world and infrared for people in the same room.

I dont know how pixel chat, touch screen and N64 graphics can compare with that


I think you would be taken so much more seriously if you took the time to spell your words correctly, and to find something with relevance. A widescreen, eh? And this is important because? Need I remind you that compared to its predecessor, the GBA has a "widescreen" as well? It doesn't make much of a difference unless the games you play are actually programmed for widescreen play (which doesn't really seem much of a gameplay plus.)

Graphics easily compared to the PS2? I'm sorry, but the PSP is JUST ABOUT the mid-point between the PS1 and the PS2. And the DS has graphics on par with the N64? Looking at it in my hand right now (The Metroid Hunters demo, to be exact) These graphics are JUST ABOUT the mid-point between the 64 and the GC.

I've not heard anything concrete about what the USB port will actually be used for, so that may have some merit.

A digital camera peripheral is currently being planned for the DS, but it really makes little sense for either system, because everyone I know has a digital camera already. And a handheld GAMING system is kinda meant for, you know, GAMES?

The DS also has headphones and a built-in mic. As for the keyboard and GPS device? All I can say is "What the hell?" The DS doesn't need a keyboard, as it has the PDA-like ability to recognize writing. And every keyboard I've seen that's small enough to be portable is still clunky, and doesn't work very well in any case.

A memory stick is not needed for game saves on the DS, since it uses carts for games. While the carts don't store as much info as discs, carts mean NO load times while playing, which is KINDA important if you really ARE gaming on-the-go.

The DS also features WI-FI connectivity, meaning over-the-'net gameplay and the same sorts of downloads.


So, try finding all the facts before arguing next time, yes?

you're taking this way to personally. I was just quoting you, that doesn't mean your talking to me or my post is directed to you.

so, please RELAX!!!

G kaliero> you do have a point when you say that a console is for games.
but just like Jkozzy said "graphics does not equal a quality gaming experience". DS may have better graphics, but just like in the past PS1 (32 bits) kicked Nintendo's butt (64 bits), it might happen again.

everything else you said, I agree.

I agree concerning the graphics, give me a 2D RPG over a graphics-laden no-story shoot-em-up any day.

It's just that many here seem to think that better graphics automatically means better games. So I'm giving out the facts.

I belive thats called: A dreamcast. LOL big grin

Why the hell does a HANDHELD console need a keyboard? Infared? wow the next big step in gaming, wireless...bah...who needs it.

btw, do you have any idea how much BATTERY POWER it takes to have dual shock rumble, dreamcast graphics, music, A Gps? and lets not forget...A KEYBOARD.

2 HOURS BATTERY LIFE YAH!!!

oh ok big grin cool

what do you mean ended up like PS1, you mean it's lifetime or something different?


well, now it looks like everyone it's taking it with magee, he was just given out the PSP stats. don't be so hard.

personally I don't care about accessories, that's something Nintendo capitalize on (expansion pak?). all I want and I need is games, and a console that plays them without having to spend another 150.

Nintendo has the supremacy when it comes to Hand-held, it was what kept them alive after failing with N64. they pretty much got back up on their feet with GC, but they must've freaked out when Sony announce PSP. I love my gameboy advance (the first one) but I'll buy the PSP before ever buying the DS, of course if I had enough money I'd buy them both.

N64? Failed? I dont seem to remember anything about it Failing? If it had failed it would have collapsed in 2 years like the dreamcast.

If it had failed it would have never made some of the best games ever.

Not Ps1 the Psx how they say the the Psx was going to have all these features and when it came out they took out lik half of the things that it was supppose to have.

I have heard no such thing. It plays UMDs, it can hold data on memory sticks, but I doubt the PSP will do MP3s. You'll just buy UMDs like you would CDs.

My Sony Clie (Palm Pilot) has a slot for memory sticks, and that can play MP3's, so I doubt it'd be any trouble to incorporate MP3 playback on the PSP since it uses memory sticks anyway...
