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

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.

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?

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...

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

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 you want something pretty to look at, watch Lord of the Rings. I suppose all the pretty colours of the PSP fill up your drool-guard good.

You want more what about a stylus that will make up for the frankly shocking Graphics.
I have heard the Ninty fanboys have another more useful use for the stylus stick it to the middle of their foreheads.

I have heard the Ninty fanboys have another more useful use for the stylus stick it to the middle of their foreheads.
I guess many people will be happy with the N64 style graphics, it is an improvement on GBA-SP. But I want more.

I have one, unless you're a complete spastic with Beadle hands, holding it is fine.

Yes, because writing letters is just as fun as playing Metroid.

Wow, what a wild and crap comparison that means little or nothing at all!

What, being the best console ever? Nah, I doubt it.

I guess the PSP will have to settle for 1 out of 2 as well, then.
