are we all aware that a DS is also capable of homebrew?

can a DS play movies?

can a DS play PSP games?

can a PSP play DS/Advance games?

just some questions to ponder

comparing the DS with PSP in terms of sales is like comparing

a Toyota Camry with a Porsche
the camry has massive sales but is it a better car compared to the porsche?

yeah I agree with DIAM the DS is a piece of crap compared to the psp(speaking from experience)! there's so much more you can do with the psp! I gave my hacked ds away!

Even when DS fanboys try to make a comeback saying graphics aren't everything I then tend to think that when you look at it that graphics do play a major factor in gameplay.

Let's look at, oh say, Medal of Honor on GBA and compare it to the Medal of Honor on PSP. Now I don't need to be anything smart to realise that the PSPs power there seems to make the game not only look better, but also more playable. Top down Medal of Honor looks like a joke.

yes, but different graphics for different situations. obviously, with their marketing in mind, nintendo didn't feel that amazing graphics were not what the DS needed. the games on the DS are not in need of mind blowing visuals.

graphics is only one element of a good game. you can have fantastic graphics but bad gameplay and/or vice versa.

i still think that gameplay is one if not the one best element a good game should have.

after all we havent all had fantastic graphics on our handhelds/pc's

examples:

pac-man - bad graphics but fantastic gameplay
tetris - bad graphics but fantastic gameplay
space invaders - bad graphics but fantastic gameplay

its only now that hardware can combine good graphics and great gameplay.

that is why in my humble opinion the psp still outshines the ds. take all the software out of both units and the psp still has grunt over the ds

True, but there are only so many games on the DS that achieve such greatness through gameplay alone...

Though I've heard that Nintendo is planning to bring the size of their little game chips up to about 1 gig by 2008, or is that just a dying rumour?

psp owners generally think that the psp is better and ds owners generally think that the ds is better, it really depends on which handheld you have

that perttymuch sums it up. the psp is for people who are genrally 10+ and the ds is for little kids or really stupid people who dont understand the psp can do so much more than ds. everyone know the reasons why the psp is better, i remember a disscussion about this 5 months ago. hmmmm...

Well, I don't think age or intelligence has anything to do with choosing a PSP or a DS.
It all depends on what you want out of a console. And what titles are available.

WOW!, wii4life u must be hella rich cos that isnt a option for many of us. i mena sure, thatd be the beszt option but its unrealistic.oh yer and gtadude has got it right, i mean if ur intelligent enough to read that the psp has got music, videos, internet, pictures, gocam and games going 4 it and that ds only has games then any person with a brain can see which one has better value, THEREFORE better entertainment, THEREFORE.....the psp is better, phew.

Ive got a psp and my sis has a ds.
I personally like the psp better cos of music, video, photo, internet and game while i ocasionally play my sisters ds cos of the unique features such as the touch screen and voice recorder. Its pretty fun but i still prefer psp.
