The Nintendo DS stands for Dual Screen and boasts a touch screen which could be used in a variety of ways. The graphics are that of a Nintendo 64 which isn't really that good. It is for a handheld, but maybe the gameplay will beat the graphics on this occasion.
As the time draws nearer, the Nintendo DS and Sony PSP are set for a huge battle. Nintendo have announced the UK release date ahead of Sony, so possibly getting an early lead in terms of sales.
Both companies have got many 3rd party publishers to produce games for them and have full backing of top-quality companies like Capcom and Square-Enix.
Sony has turned many doubters mind's about the PSP, with the much-awaited sequel to the ground-breaking Final Fantasy 7, Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children will be a movie of what happened [/]after[/I] the end of FF7.
Both Nintendo and Sony have released numerous specs about their machines, so i wont go into them as it would take too long, and besides, you have probably heard of them already.
One thing that has excited me is the amount of memory on the games themselves. Nintendo can manage a huge 1GB whilst Sony can save as much as 1.8GB on one UMD. (Universal Media Disk). It is clear that these are top machines and boast state of the art gadgets and gizmos.
At the present moment, i believe that both handheld consoles are Wi-Fi, meaning you can play against people all over the world if you have a Wi-Fi kit. This really is technology at its' best. On the DS you can send a message using a 'picto-chat' feature to your friends (As long as they own a N-DS!)
Both handhelds are wireless making the possibilities endless. For instance, you can play multi-player games with your friends without the messy wires that you have to pay extra for!
The Sony PSP has the ability to play movies and MP3 so you are getting alot for your money. I don't know for sure, but if you could send MP3's to your friends using the wireless feature, it would be great!
As both consoles are set to come out in the near future i wish them both the best of luck...
