also DS has baby games, all cartoony. cos if they made a realistic game it wud suck cos of bad DS graphics!

I don't want this thread to turn to a silly handheld war, but I'm bored and have plenty of time. x]

First off, size:

- DS Lite: 133.0 mm (L) x 73.9 mm (W) x 21.5 mm (H).
- PSP: PSP Dimensions: 170 mm (L) x 74 mm (W) x 23 mm (H).

Next, screen:

- DS Lite: New screens are brighter than the PSP's and are visable in sunlight. Less colors than the PSP.
- PSP: Beautiful screen with about 16M colors. Great for picture watching. Not so great for movie watching. I generally dislike watching videos on handheld devices. Not visable, or little visibility, in sunlight.

Multimedia:

- DS Lite: No 'Out-of-Box' multimedia features. Third-party hardware for playing multimedia is available for the Nintendo DS and the price after buying it is still cheaper than a single PSP.
- PSP: Includes many multimedia features out of the box. Better memory device required (sold separately) for storing extra multimedia.

Online:

- DS Lite: The Nintendo WiFi system has already more than 2 Million unique users playing games online. Currently, there is no browser for the DS Lite, but Opera is releasing the browser for the DS Lite in late September.
- PSP: Inferior online gaming due to less games available for online gaming. Features a built-in browser and RSS reader.

Games:

- DS Lite: Features more exclusive titles with better features. Touch- Screen gaming is very fun. Most games are not graphically impressive but you won't care about how it looks when you're having fun playing.

(Your claim- DS has baby games. Seriously, have you even played a DS game? Or do you just look at the graphics and decide if its good or not that way? I'm sure I'm not the only person who's played 'E-rated' games and had fun with them. I hope you realise that you're in the minority when you claim DS games aren't fun, because the rest of the world thinks otherwise.)
- PSP: Overall good game graphics. Gameplay is pretty weak on most games. Lumines is good for the PSP.

Homebrew:

- DS Lite: Yes. Who said there wasn't any? "/
- PSP: Yes.

My mate has a DS and i have a PSP . I always have more fun on my PSP than his DS tbh. DS is ALOT more babyish. PSP has all the games for older kids like 12+

Says who?



Loco Roco looks anything but mature, however, it's fun. I could easily say that this game is 'babyish' just simply by looking at the box art, but I'd be in the wrong because it isn't true.

w.e im about to leave soon and i just wanna get this outta the way. mind.in.a.box stop sticking up for the ds. it SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THE GRAPHICS ARE LAME AND WHO CARES IF THERE ARENT GOOD GAMES ON THE PSP. THERES ACTUALLY ABOUT 9 OR SO GOOD ONES IN MY OPINOIN.

lol

Feeling insecure that you're in the minority that actually enjoys the PSP?

I'm fully aware the graphics of the DS aren't up to par with those of the PSP.

Who cares if there aren't any good games on the PSP, you say? XD
Well, assuming you bought a GAMING handheld to play GAMES on, it would be pretty stupid of you NOT to care if there were good games or not, don't you think? I mean, apart from multimedia functionality, I'm guessing most PSP owners bought the device to play games on primarily, not as an after-thought.

I'm not being argumentative, I'm simply explaining people's errors when they make certain claims about a system. You may not like what you hear because you're a PSP owner, but what I'm doing is simply stating facts- documented by many- that I've researched in my spare time. I am not making things up when I say games on the DS are better- they just are. People recognize the PSP for what it was- overhyped, overpriced, with a lackluster gaming library.

Futhermore, I'm not acting superior in any way. I just simply have certain knowledge that others here seem to lack, so I fill in the gaps where needed.

Finally, I would like to point out that if the DS was a 'suckmachine' as you put it, how do you explain it selling better then the PSP, the multimedia powerhouse?

The ds is certainly not a suckmachine, but as i have already said i prefer the psp. Playing in sunlight can be a problem, but i manage it. The screen on the psp, literally is like a TFT computer monitor!!! I must admit, the games are more fun on the DS, but there are a few good titles out there for the PSP. In no way are some of the games for the DS babyish, just because they heve 'dodgy' graphics. The PSP is worth it for the multimedia functionability (photos, music, videos, films, internet, RSS feed reader and watching TV on, if you can afford that overpriced sony location free player). For the younger users i would recommend the DS (in no way is it babyish though) and older people (teens) i recommend the PSP. If you get a PSP it is best to go for a large memory stick (I have a 2GB Sony memory stick which i got for less than a quarter of the price in the shops at the time on ebay).

Don't you find it funny that the DS is the console that gets branded as 'kiddy', yet the people who are supporting the big mature PSP are the ones acting like babies. A lot of people prefer the DS to the PSP, so get over it. Don't throw your rattle out of the pram.
