What would you rather have?

A portable PS2 with rubbish battery life and pointless expensive features and PS2 ports.

Or an affordable portable N64 with two screens, touch screen and mic, and original games on it, and a battery life of 6-10 hours

Nuff said

I do believe he meant to say:
"In my opinion the PSP is better so please don't listen to this guy. He is right in aspect that the DS is cheaper but since it is made by Sony, I am an idiot drone like person who'll buy anything I believe to be cool." :D

And the reason I will get a DS is Metroid Prime Hunters, Wario Ware Touched, The Urbz: Sims in the City, Mr Driller, etc.

Thanks Icarus, my day has been enlightened!

In the nintendo forums, a DS and PSP thread and this seems to have wriggled it's way in!

I'm going to bring this argument kind of in the playstation thread for fun.

Cheaper AND made by Sony!? What a recommendation! :D

So because it's cheaper it's probably more likely to breakdown than Sony's overpriced products which, coincid-ahahaha-entally breakdown?

Sounds like a winner to me.

Heh. Fickle handheld/console owners make me laugh.

"I've owned this brand new console/handheld for all of 8 weeks and there are NO more games out for it at the moment that I like so I'll sell it and buy the rival not giving my old console/handheld any chance for the decent games to start coming"

'Grass is always greener' eh?

I was being ironic, a bit over your head yes???

In a world where Playstation corner the cool aspect of the market, it is very bizzare they'd enter the world of handhelds. Walking around playing games is not cool, it never will be.

Only 2 types of people would do it, hardcore gamers (and there are as many Nintendo hardcore gamers as Sony) and Children. The DS CAN appeal to children with some of the software and the cheap price.

The PSP, looks and IS for an adult market. A market that to be frank, are not interested in handheld consoles.

I doubt the PSP will topple the Gamecube because your tiny little focus group have decided to trade in a DS, only a month after its launch, for a PSP. Sounds a bit premature to me. Especially as the PSP has next to nothing good at launch, a bit like the DS.
