it will prob influence my decision being a sony fan
they both have there pros and cons, im suporting the psp cause im a sony fan and it does mp3
the psp is more powerfull and plays mp3 but its battery does not last that long
the DS does have a battery that does not run out as fast and is cheaper, it does have two screens but that does not appeal to me i id rather have one big screen, touch screen will prob not be that good for gaming
DS does look a bit ugly but the nice big screen on the psp will get smashed up cause there is no protection
500,000 by the end of the year? Heh. Not at the rate they're being shipped at the moment.
Look at the sales for the PSP...
Then look at the combined sales of the 2 GBA consoles.
How close is that!

I'll think you find it might be down to low shipment, although Sony said they were gonna be 500,000 by the enf of the year.
That is a terrible result for the Gamecube again. Good God Nintendo sort it out.
333,000 consoles sold by Nintendo last week then.
Sony sold 198,000
See what I mean with Nintendo make a killing.
Heh.

Now those low PSP sales can't just be down to shipments. Good news for Nintendo indeed.
2 Gamecube games in the top 10, not bad.
Apparently.
Plus I couldn't help but be disappointed if I got a MGS game where everything was controlled by cards, especially after Twin Snakes. The story, the atmosphere the tension, they'd pretty much all be lost.
