"Console Wars - who is the best? next gen style"

so what will be best? PS3 XBOX REVOLOUTION DS or PSP?

Gerrid I'm not denying that the DS has expert handheld games. It is one of my reasons why it succeeds. But to be honest I'm not a massive fan of handheld games.

PSP has console games so will be more for me. Then again there's no real point in that either, might as well just get a PS2 and I can't be doing that.

But Medievil does look good.

You obviously don't read my posts. I've always said I've never been that keen on the DS but I do think it'll beat the PSP.

I've now played the DS and it looks like I was right to be skeptical. It isn't that good at all.

But I still think it'll be the PSP.

I really wish you'd listen to me rather than assume I just back up everything to do with Nintendo.

It's just GBA fanboyism. Feel the Magic is a fantastic game and really shows off what the DS can do. Sure it's shallow, but it's a handheld game - that's what they do best, isn't it? Quick, simple, intuitive, fun? As for Mario - it's Mario 64, one of the best games ever. It's as fun to play now as it ever was, in my opinion, although it's no longer as groundbreaking.

The game I can't wait for is Yoshi's Touch & Go. It looks to be a solid platformer sort of thing, with unique gamplay. Polarion looks like a top puzzle game and is apparently very addictive. Then there's the new Mario Bros game, Castlevania and loads of others.

I know that the PSP games look good, but so far Ridge Racer is the only good game, and I'm not a huge fan of racing games. The rest of the release schedule apart from maybe 1 game is all stuff that, if I wanted, I'd have bought a PS2 for, and it's the same with pretty much everyone here, I guess. And those who do want those games - you can already get them on the PS2. I don't really see the appeal myself, apart fromthe "cool new gadget" appeal of any new console.

Dringo, it'd be nice if you just for once had a view that stayed - rather than shifting it about all the time to be clever.

I am not tempted by the DS at all, not until Crystal Chronicles, Zelda and Pokemon are released.

PSP will not win, I don't think it'll even beat the DS.

The Gameboy is the killer franchise.

Nintendo are treating the DS as a seperate console to it all. A third pillar. And it's a stupid pillar. It is flawed and dodgy. It will do well, I can tell you that. But it's also shoddy.

The Gameboy franchise, the second pillar, will do all the damage it'll need to.

The DS is trying to do exactly what the PSP is doing.

And that's a stupid idea.

The PSP does not play handheld games, but the games it does play are far better than the DS.

The DS do play handheld games and this will shift the system.

But the PSP's Ridge Racer's and Medievil's look REAL good to me.

I might, after a price drop, even get one.

Dringo, you're going to turn around tomorrow and go 'BLA BLA BLA the DS pwns the PSP'. So stop trying to be clever. At all.

And games are good?

Even in your bizzarre turn around phases, you know that's rubbish.

PSP and PS3 are the winners!
