Not gonna even touch the Wii PS3 is gonna step up next to the 360 In my honest opinion..... but the control is unique I gotta give that to the Wii

yes many people play the ds. With the new ds lite it is possible to do more than the psp will ever be able to do. Plus with all the software available the ds rocks for a much cheaper price.

Why the ds lite is better than a psp:
-cheaper
-smaller
-longer battery life
-compatability with all previous gameboy games
-emulation capabilities
-better looks

psp is way sexier, and grown people actually play it cause it has mature fun games.

Let see
Cheaper: Okay you got me there
Smaller: Ahem PSP slim
Battery life: Once again the slim wins
Compatibility: Gee pretty sure the PSP can play PSX games, funny cause we can play, GBC, GBA, NDS, NES, SNES, N64, Atari, ect.
Emulation: Wow are you living under a rock, pretty sure PSP homebrew is much better than NDS, hence emulators mentions above.
Better looks: Pshhh you wish, it's a boxxy cube like thing, quite annoying to the hands.

Reasons PSP is better:
-Backwards compatibility: Not only with the PSX, but GBC, GBA, NDS, NES, SNES, N64 Atari, and so on.
-Screen: With the 16:9 screen, I no longer have to strain my eyes like I would with the NDS.
-Hacking: Gee to hack the DS you need all sorts of equipment, which costs cash, and gee wouldn't ya know it it's free to hack a PSP.
-Features: Gee my webbrowser and .mp3 player are built into my PSP, hm don't you have to but .mp3 and webbrowser cartridges for about $40 a pop on the DS.
-Online Play: Funny cause now I no longer have to sit next to the person I wanna play.
-Homebrew: The wide array of plugins, flasher apps, games, portals, and various other things make my PSP a lot more enjoyable than the NDS.
-Movies: Wow I can store movies on my PSP and take them with me wherever I go, and with my slim I can even watch them on my TV in my home as well as hotels, and other places.
-Graphics and Gameplay: I would gladly trade a touch screen and a stylus for a an analog stick and greater graphics.
-Fresh New Titles: No longer do I have to play the umpteenth installment of Super Mario Bros, I can choose from original titles, such as Manhunt, Monster Hunter Freedom, Crisis Core, and so much more (NOTE: I said original not exclusive I am aware the bigger consoles share Manhunt and some other PSP titles).

OVERALL: The PSP is the better system the reason the DS sells so well is due to it's price, if the PSP were $129 Nintendo would be chewing their nails right now.

I had a Ds and sold it. I now have a psp with homebrew and i havent touched it in a while. Handhelds are not for me, although they come in handy in lectures.
BTW The new zelda game on the ds is awesome. I loved it. Still wouldnt make me buy a ds again.

I dont think DS is crap, there are very funny games for it - for example Mario Kart multi cool.gif - but the PSP is still much better.

lol owned! Anyway, I agree PSP>>>>>>>>>DS anyday.

I agree, tha games nintendo brings out suck big time and are really childish..
wahtehfawk
dude the DS is good and so is the PSP
the DS lite is alot cheaper then the PSP slim
and most of their games have good wifi abilities
and to be honest i enjoy DS games more then the PSP games
and plus DS games are ALOT smaller then PSP games
takes me like 10 minutes to get a ds game and then for PSP it takes like 3 hours and then u have to buy a big memory card which costs like $50 but can only fit like 3 games
the DS u can buy a flashcart that comes with a 1gb SD card for like $50 which are cheaper then pro duos and u can hold like 20 games on it
the PSP have better music and video quality and the DS sucks at that

wow, such intelligent arguments you folks have ... on BOTH sides of the fanboy fence.

I have a tough time deciding which system to play, the DS (with an R4) or my PSP (w/3.40OEa). I enjoy them both.

ds is a pretty laim system becuase all the games are childish, and the rare M rated games are crappy like resident evil ds
elvis_zd
i would't say the games on DS are childish! maybe the graphich are not great as on PSP, but for me it's gameplay that counts!
Stonedge
Same as telcolou,
