Just thought this might be an interesting one.
Have a bit of a session with your mates and get to some food stuck inbetween your teeth do you try and find a tooth pick or just use the stylus?
Is there some safety concerns here?

That's a completely ridiculous comparison. For a start, playing games and listening to music are not the same thing. Gaming isn't 'cool' and it hasn't been made 'cool' by Sony. All that has happened is that it has become more widespread. This is a virtue not only of increasing incomes and leisure time, but also of just the general increase in usage that any entertainment medium experiences. Obviously Sony helped market the whole video games idea to a wider audience, but it didn't make it 'cool'.
The very fact that the PSP is targeting the same audience as the iPod could be its downfall - if you want to listen to music why would you buy a PSP? The market is already flooded with cheap MP3 players and the like, and whether the 'older generation' actually wants portable gaming machines is yet to be seen.

The 'image issue'? Who cares, you bunch of morons. If you're playing a PSP it won't mean women will flock to your feet (bad luck lads, you'll have to stick with paying for now), either way you're going to look like someone playing a handheld console.
All your reasoning for the DS failing seems to strictly aesthetic, or so stupid that only completely ignorant fanboys like yourselves would think them up. Only someone who shoves their consoles up their own asses could possibly lose a stylus.
I don't care if you want to go around wearing shades with your 'wicked' PSP, along with all your hoes by your side looking like a right 'badass gamer'. Not only will you look like a complete and utter tw*t, but you'll get your head smashed to pulp.

In answer to the original question, if you want to pick your teeth the toothpick wins, if you want to play a DS the stylus wins.
You have to remember that Top Score is someone who, when the rumble pak was released, probably said things like 'lol wats better a rumble pak or a tractor?' and 'if i wanted to be vibrating i'd get in bed with my girlfriend'.
And then as soon as the dualshock was released he was cramming it up his rectum and letting his malformed seed flow.

It's entertaining watching him rummage around for scraps of arguements to use.
Thumb nubbin sounds really cool (laughs out loud)

You arguements just keep getting worse. How is noughts and crosses comparable to Mario 64?
And you forget to mention the thumb nubbin - which is the main method of use for most games.

You arguements just keep getting worse. How is noughts and crosses comparable to Mario 64?
And you forget to mention the thumb nubbin - which is the main method of use for most games.
