The Nintendo DS? Isn't that just an SP with an extra screen?
That's where you're wrong. - The Decline of Video Games 2

Anyways i think the DS will do better the PSP becasue Nintendo makes the best and most well known portable consoles. Trying to beat Nintendo at making portable consoles is like trying to beat SquareEnix at making RPG's that sell ridiculously well. Whether the DS will actually be better than the PSP, I have no clue.
As for me I think I'll stick with my GBA:SP.

I have the DS and PSP. I also have my older gameboys, but I traded in my GBA. The PSP is sooo sweet. It looks alot better built and sleeker (if thats a word) then the DS. But I still like them both.

I think the PSP will do better than the DS, but I think that Nintendo will still be the king of portable gaming. The Gameboy just has too many sales for Sony to overtake Nintendo anytime soon. PSP has over 200 games being made already with more companies evaluating the system to see if they want to make games. The PSP is just very solid compared to my DS. So the PSP IMHO will be the best gaming console out there. Also, the PSP is probably not going to be much more than the DS. The American price point of the PSP will most likely be $150 also. If you look at the Japanese prices the DS and PSP cost the same. Though, the PSP is selling for way more at the moment because of the supply and demand situation. I paid 300+ dollars for mine.

"Alright: as far as graphics they're basically tied"

No, the PSP blows the DS out of the water in graphics. Trust me, I have both.

Remember, Nintendo was the leader in consoles also, but Sony came in with the Playstation and took the throne. I wouldnt rule that out for the portable world, but it wont happen for awhile, the Gameboy is just way too popular.


Man, I sound like a fanboy. But, Im not, its the games that interest me in the end.
