DS vs PSP

[Yellowtail]

Well, to sit nice and snug next to Wii vs 360 vs PS3 I made this little thread.
I prefer the DS. The psp offers little more than bad PS2 ports, any original games are nothing special. The DS has plenty of fun exclusives and little gems like 'Soul Bubbles'.

[Heat 4eva]

DS. So many reason, originality being the main one. Two screens, mic support, touch screen etc... Awesome games, perhaps the best range of great games on any console, ever? Best selling gaming unit nowadays, by quite alot, you'd be surprised.

Anyway, let's look at the figures:

Worldwide Sales Figures

Nintendo DS ~ 70.6 mil
Sony PSP ~ 34 mil.

Do the math.

[Purple Pirate]

I don't have either, but my brother's DS is really cool.

[Mastersnowy]

I voted DS. I think the games are a lot more fun then the PSP.

[kogeck]

The DS has many, MANY more memorable games than the PSP.
-Nintendogs
-Animal Crossing
-Metroid
-Mario Kart DS
-Super Mario 64 DS
-Pokemon Pearl and Diamond

Shall I go on?

And the DS is creative and cool- No other gaming system has a touch screen like the DS. The PSP is like a Game boy but copied by Sony.

since im getting DS for birthday thats wat i chose i could've got psp but i wanted to play mario kart or mario (i wanted it portable thats why i didnt pick a wii) and its much more fun beacause of touch screen and stuff :)

[soccer686]

I love the DS. I don't have a PSP but if I did the only games I would get would be the new Battlefront and Ratchet and clank.

PSP!

Many many more features than the DS, better graphics, and lots of shooter games (if you like those kind of games).

but what does graphix matter when you look at it from DOING. that is what is special about nintendo nowadays DOING. You are shooting the robots. You are building up pressure for your rocket with the stylus. You are chatting with your friend over nintendo wifi using your voice. you are getting the point right. bye.

Grow up.
It is just an opinion. I used to even have a Nintendo DS, I really didn't like it.

Sorry, but I don't understand why you said 'grow up'?

[Igloowarrior]

Guess what I voted for!

PSP has funner games unlike the ds which has games like brain training, why would you want to learn outside school. The ds games also get boring after a while and the screens are too small.

The PSP also can connect to the almighty PS3 and you can go on the Internet on it!

Brain Training was an out and out WORLDWIDE success. Why would you want to learn outside of school? It's not learning, it's keeping your brain fit and young, and appeals to all ages. It's so crap that Sony tried to copy it :rolleyes:

Screens are too small = You have no arguement. That's like argueing over football teams and saying that one team is worse coz they have smaller feet. Pathetic reasoning.

And to top it all off, the DS has an internet browser.

[GlacialFreez]

DS, and for one reason in particualar...

One day I was downloading some movies to go onto my PSP so I could watch them, but instead I got an hour of random snippets choosen from the movies I had choosen and several french and spanish re-dubs as well.

[Yellowtail]

PSP has funner games unlike the ds
No.
which has games like brain training
Don't buy brain training. Did you consider playing something awesome like Mario Kart or Zelda?
why would you want to learn outside school
Maybe the game isn't aimed at your age group?
The ds games also get boring after a while
Some do, but so do some PSP games?
and the screens are too small
No they're not.

The PSP also can connect to the almighty PS3 and you can go on the Internet on it!
The DS can also connect to the almighty Wii and you can on the internet on it!

[Igloowarrior]

You can't go on the internet on my brothers.

And the psp has better games and the ds games are REALLY short!!!!!!!

[Heat 4eva]

I actually do feel bad for you not having enjoyed the DS experience, maybe due to poor games played or just general ignorance, but it's only yourself who's losing out.

[Slider 789]

I honestly like DS better myself. I have the original version of DS(you know, the ol' bulky one) and I also have a PSP. I once left my DS in my school backpack for 3 months. Nothing was wrong with it. PSP on the other hand? Screen totally cracked and ruined. Can't even play the dumb thing anymore:|(BTW, both were on accident) Also, when i play some handheld games, I start tapping the screen like a DS:P

[Yellowtail]

You can't go on the internet on my brothers.

You need the browser to use the internet.

And the psp has better games and the ds games are REALLY short!!!!!!!
No it hasn't and no they aren't. The length depends what game you're playing.
Igloowarrior, tell me what DS games you have played.

[Igloowarrior]

No it hasn't and no they aren't. The length depends what game you're playing.

Right, here is the list;

[Heat 4eva]

The Legend of Zelda Phantom Hourglass!

It's blatently obvious that they are not the ones you've played, because that game is VERY VERY long. Nice try though :rolleyes:

[Igloowarrior]

I haved played all of those games on brothers, sister and friends DS's! :P

If the PSP is so bad tell me what games you have played on it!

[lime]

is there like.... both? :rolleyes:
i currently have a ds and i think it's good, and
im getting a psp and i think that it will be much better.

go psp!!!:D:D

[Mastersnowy]

Obviously the DS dominates! Nintendo does a good job with the interaction games, which is what makes the DS and Wii so cool. Plus now, the DS can connect to the Wii and you can download game demos and buy them from the Wii! The PSP just doesn't appeal to me much.

[kogeck]

Igloowarrior is one huge Sony advettisment, dont mind him.

[benas789]

igloowarrior we dont need to play any PSP games because they are exact same as PS3 OR 2 and ds has its own style of games which are interactive thats what i think

[Yellowtail]

Right, here is the list;

Yoshi touch and go; Super Mario 64 DS;Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney; Mario Kart DS; Sonic Rush; Animal Crossing; Top Spin 2; Mario vs Donkey Kong 2; 42 ALL TIME CLASSICS; The Sims 2 Pets; The Sims 2; Yoshi's Island DS; Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney Justice for All; Diddy Kong Racing; Touch Master; Drake and Josh Talent Showdown;I SPY Fun House; Drawn To Life; My Sims; The Legend of Zelda Phantom Hourglass; Best Of TestsBest Of Board Games;Chess Master;Sims 2 Castaway; The Simpsons Game;Sight Training; Cooking Mama; Cooking Mama 2;Brain Training; More Brain training;Mario Party DS; My French Coach; Phoenex Wright Ace Attorney Trials and Tribulations; Planet Puzzle Leage;Sega Super Stars Tennis; Maths Training; Spelling Challenges and More; Mario and Sonic at The Olympic Games; Super Princess Peach; Assassions Creed; Pro Evo 2008; Nintendogs; Dogz; Catz; Zack and Cody; Thats So Raven.

More to come!
And what has the PSP got to top those?

[Yoho99]

I don't like Sony, I like Microsoft way better. But I have to agree that the PSP is better. It has games I like. (Realistic Games) Not Cartoony games.

[RedneckSlayer42]

I like the PSP better, though I wish it was more durable.

[offscott]

I'd choose the ds because a psp is just like one of the normal playstation and its almost the same games as the ps2. I like nintendo ds because you can use your stylus for almost anything and you can use game boy advance games for it.:)

[Yellowtail]

Also, what's up with the PSP's horrible nubby analogue stick.

[NickyPenny]

I have a DS and a PSP. It stinks though because my DS broke and I like it better. PSP just got lame.

[Moosey54321]

DS of course!!!


It has:

- Even better graphics than psp
- 2 screens
- Touch screen
- Cheaper than a PSP
- Smaller box = Better for the enviroment
- Cool games

[Yellowtail]

- Cool graphics

Compared to the PSP though?
I prefer DS but you're silly.

[Yamadog27]

Hmmm Thats hard.I have both.The psp has better graphics.The ds is more reliable,longer lasting battery,more games.HMmmmm I'll have to go with.Psp just 'cuz it looks cooler and can go online.:cool:

[Ironpanther]

Wow..Both
I use the Nintendo DS to play Ultimate mortal kombat and I already have 341 wins and 23 losses.
I use my psp for a lot of others things


And to top it all off, the DS has an internet browser.

[Greenday5136]

They both are great. Both have great games, both have nice graphics.
They both have nice features ect. ect.
I'd have to say, though, the PSP has lots of features other than gaming and internet.
*Music
*Video
*Radio
*GPS
*TV
*Images
*Movies
...and more, but, you DO have to pay for them! "no wai!!@##"
You have to pay for the memory. You have to pay for the internet. You have to pay for the TV. You pretty much are paying for everything that goes into the memory, and you even have to pay for the memory itself!
...unless you are doing something illegal, but that is a different story. Nothing is free. Anyways... if you say the PSP has a lack of games, think again. Here's a list of my favorites.
*GTA: Vice City Stories
*GTA: Liberty City Stories
*Daxter
*Midnight Club: Dub Edition
*Starwars Battlefront 2
*Tony Hawk's Underground 2: Remix
That's just a tiny fraction of the games on that handheld. The DS is actually no match. I like both, but the PSP takes the cake...
The DS is awesome, though. Very fun minigames.
