Why is the DS the first handheld they have used a 3D chip in?
Come on it's not like 3D chips are new

Graphics quality important or not - I would expect any tv or news paper reviews to point it out.
Maybe Channels 5's Gadget show will have a full road test of both next series.

If I were you, I'd be ashamed to the point of suicide for trying to reel that off as an insult...

Okay so we've established the PSP has nice graphics...
But the N-GAGE has better graphics than then GBA SP, that has flopped.
The Gamegear had better graphics than the black and white Gameboy.
That flopped.
The nintendo DS isn't about complex graphics system, it is about a new way to play games.
And handheld games are hardly games for graphics now are they? Most popular mobile game is a 2D black and white puzzler called Snake.
Yet there are tonnes of fully coloured and very snazzy looking games, some in 3D. None of them are as fun as Snake.
Tetris sold the Gameboy...
There's a reason you know.

Have you seen the Metroid videos?
DS hasn't got bad graphics.
I suppose, being the moron you are, you're taking your views from Mario 64 DS. Well, well ... what's that? Oh, right, an N64 game - what did you expect it to look like?

N-GAGE and Gamegear? Dont make me laugh. The reason why these underdogs never became popular is due to the marketing of Nintendo. Nobody was ever going to buy a near "vapourware" product like N-GAGE or Geamegear when you could buy a well know, popular brand like Nintendo. But with PSP its different, as Sony have got a very cool and very popular brand image. Everyone knows what PlayStation is, so a PSP is familar to them.

SEGA had a very popular image in the mid ninties when the Gamegear was released...
And are you trying to say Nokia, one of the most recognised brands of modern times, are not popular?
Don't make me laugh, Nokia failed because it tried to be too many things at once, a video player, a mobile phone and an MP3 player and it didn't work...
Oh wait.

Meh, no games are properly 3D anyway.
It's impossible unless they make retarded looking TV's :P

This is actually the most ridiculous thing you've ever said. You just pull theories out or your ass with 0 evidence or reason to back them up, and state them as fact. It's appalling. SEGA were always 'cooler' than Nintendo, and when they released the GameGear it was much like Sony releasing the PSP.
You also didn't reply to the idea that the most popular handheld games have extremely simple mechanics and graphics. The DS, you have to admit, offers an even simpler way of interacting with games. EyeToy proved that removing the obstacle of the joypad increases acessibility to all. If simplicity sells handhelds, then surely the handheld with the simplest control interface will be more popular, to a degree.

Christ, it is that Top Score guy.
Am I right in thinking that he was the guy who used to boast about having a wife and driving a Lexus?
You people really should just ignore him. He only comes here to get a reaction and you're just feeding his insatiable hunger for being a c**t.
