"Nintendo Ds or PSP?"

My friend, who normally surgests why people should love Nintendo more than Sony , today made a valid point. He said, 'Many, not all of the DS games are ports from the Nintendo 64, yes they may have extras thrown in, but basically are the same old games but at full price which they once were when they first came out.' As i was stunned by suge a huge complex sentence from this person, i didn't really reply. I do see his point. I think there are good points and bad points to each handheld. Personally, i'd like to buy both as both promise such good features. Nintendo have announced that the DS is going to have totally free wi-fi, so that is a plus...

what utter balls. The PSP is so clearly graphically superior.

Oh, and on the subject of the games being N64 ports, only 2 out of the 15 launch games are N64 ports, and there aren't any other on the horizon whatsoever.

Nintendo DS and Sony PSP comparison:

DS: Two Screens (One Touchscreen)- Doesn't make me want one
Slimline - good, so its easy to carry around
Classic games such as N64 ports - good, but just jazzed up old games
Cheap: good
Wireless Multiplayer- Great, but the PSP has this
Free Wi-Fi - Again the PSP has this.
Still cartiriges 1GB - Not quite as much as the PSP
Built-in voice recognition - PSP doesn't have this
GBA backwards compatible - Handy

PSP: Better Graphics capabilites - Obviously very useful
UMD Disk 1.8GB - Bigger games can be made onto the disks
Play Movies - Could be a sucess
Play MP3s - Very popular with todays youth
Wireless Multiplayer- Great, but the PSP has this
Free Wi-Fi - Again the PSP has this.
32MB onboard memory - Huge memory
Analogue & Digital control - Sonys version of the 'touch sensitive screen'
Bigger Screen - Will show of the beautiful graphics

Might seem a bit anti-Nintendo, but i have tried to outline the best points of both systems fairly.

Discs are a double edged sword. On the one hand they're cheaper to produce, and therefore potentially cheaper for the consumer, but on the other hand you get loading times.

DS forever.
Nintendo forever.

Not the UMD, it's in a plastic case.
