what does everyone think will be the victor of the handheld console wars. form the ds and psp, i think that the ds will knock spots off the psp, and nintendos touch screen will help it will the battle. do you think that microsoft should start the war of handheld gaming as well?

To be honest, Sony have completely ballsed up the PSP. The main emphasis has been on the extra features like the MP3 player etc. and not the actual games that the bloody thing is meant to play.

I laugh at those failiures. DS will destroy the PSP, no doubt about it.

I have an MP3, I have a DVD Player. Why would I want the PSP? This will be the situation with many casual gamers.

To be honest the PSP doesn't seem to be offering much.

There is no GTA, MGS acid seems a little dodgy to say the least and Final Fantasy seems more dedicated to the DS than to Sony's system.

I might get a PSP though, slightly shameful of me, but that's because I'm a geeky b*****d that likes my gadgets.

I can't see it going down well with the casual gamer.

Can't fault your logic ... but it just doesn't work like that. Ever.

The PSP is a more grown-up handheld? Why? Because it is black and has Sony written on it? Or because 'grown-up' Playstation games involve shooting and nothing else?

Why was a psp vs ds thing posted on a nintendo forum??
most of the people that are here are nintendo fans so ther bound to say that the ds will do better just like if it was posted on the playstation forum people would say that the psp will do better. if you want to get the real view of things go to general chat or sumthing

I have a GC and a PS2 and have every gameboy ever made but i think this one will be 2nd best to the psp because its got playstation games on it pure and simple the only reson gameboys sell so well is that theres no competition.
And im not a fan of the usless 2nd screen its called a mini for a reson why make a whole screen for it? the only reson that a person would buy the ds who wast a fan of nintendo is for the zelda games, i no a hell of a lot of people who did that with the 64 the gamecube and gameboys.
One last thing the psp is a more grown up hand held what would you prefer to say 'ive got the new gameboy' or 'ive got a psp' see its just better all round

WOOOOOO longest post ever sorry about that lol

Right it's cheaper, the PSP can't play DVD's and the screen is as good.

The ignorance of some people..

More expensive? Quite the opposite.

Hasn't got as good a screen? It's got two.

The PSP can play DVD discs? No it can't.

Try learning some facts next time please.
