PSP vs. DS : Which Will Be Better?

Yea the games haven't really poured out yet, but there are still many excellent ones out there, quality and not quantity , but ps usually maintains both.

Overall, its selling more units, thus being more successful.
Who cares if its doing better in individual counties or towns or cities. That means nothing at all.

Both have been somewhat crappy. PSP hasnt destroyed Nintendo like people thought it would and the DS hasnt solidifiy Nintendo's stronghold in handhelds. In the end, its the GBA and its counterparts that are still ruling. Maybe 3d isnt the best medium for handhelds.

Are you talking about the PSp selling more? Because the last time I check the DS is out selling the PSP.

Last time i checked the ds came out before the psp....PSP is way better i love mine i take it alomost every were i go. and people still come up to me every once in a while to ask me about it.

PSP can sell less but it costs more obviously it wouldn't sell as much if it came out later at a higher price would it?

Theres no good games out for the PSP right now. Besides the PSP came out after the DS for a couple weeks and outsold the Ds but then DS had some good GAMES that helped it outsell PSP in Japan.

PSP...Hands down....

My bad, Zombie. I meant DS is outselling the PSP.

It doesnt matter how much it costs, if the demend is high enough, people will buy it. Thats the fault that the PSP has, its not pratical to buy unless your going to play it nonstop. Its an handheld, which are generally played while on the move. People forget this. If I had the PSP and a Sony PS2 and was at home, im going to play the PS2. People though, arnt going to buy it for something to do while on the bus, or in a car, or on a plane because its costs 349.99 CAN and thats bloody expansive for a 15min trip. The DS on the other hand costs 199.99 CAN or an GBA SP for 89.99 CAN. Thats a more reasonable alternative.

The PSP is a great piece of hardware (aside from some defectives and durability) but for what the system is used for, its somewhat unpratical. It doesnt help out that the games for the system right now, are pretty crappy. I rather save my money and buy a next gen console or 10 games for my PC or GC.

Also, the DS is leading in sales on average per week than total sales. Total sales mean nothing, but if somethign is leading weekly, its doing better.

Exactly in a sense, though it does matter the price, you inadvertently said it, I wouldn't need a small movie player for this or that and I would like to focus more on games I agree, but I'm waiting for a price dropand better games, games make the system.

Nintendo will have people buying it the same reason that people buy sony home consoles, they trust them. Sony does the different genre, but the DS games and durability make it ideal for children as well, and its cheaper price made it apparent it would sell more.

I'm not much of a handheld person myself,and I still have only my blackand white gameboy, and my gamegear(battery killer), but I wouldn't pay more for something I wouldn't play at home, where next gen is more superior, thats why I stick to CD players on trips.

But the PSP is a superior system hands down.

But always remember its not that hardware that matters its the SOFTWARE.

Yep, and its games and control beyond anything else..........

Well, software doesnt matter if people dont pick up the thing.

It is dominant in my area, but many see the price to high for a handheld, and the games need a varied face lift before I consider a purchase.

I think both are crap. Seriously why buy a PSP when basicly the same games are on PS2 and DS the stylus is just a pain, why do developers have to put it to use in every game? Its just annoying. Most of the games are mostly just carbon copies.

I'm not a handheld person myself anymore, but like I said they need a game face lift, since games make the system.

PSP , the ds is alright but the games are shit and the touch pad is a pain in the ass

true, PSP games haven't reached their potential, but arestill better than the ds

I really don't like handheld games at all, but PSP is SOOOOOOOOO much better.

you spammer you..........

I have a PSP and I've played the DS... PSP smacks it in everyway
