It is pretty much the DS's games... Without the great games on the DS, then the DS wouldn't be so far ahead. Most of the PSP's games are American made (which Japanese don't like) or are remakes of PS2 games, or have low ratings. The DS has much fewer games, but the games on it are unique and fun and original. Not that the PSP's games aren't fun though... It is also the price. $250 for a PSP or $150 for a DS, at release. Now it is $200 for a PSP, or $130 for a DS. (Prices USD)

When the PSP came out, I was sure that it would be very bad for Nintendo. I was wrong...

..and since I am a Nintendo fan, I'm not mad ;)

EDIT: I think it is funny how both Game Boy's sell more than the Xbox 360 in Japan...

Hrmm... interesting how the combined sells of EVERYTHING else are still less than half the volume of the DS lite.

Yes the DS Lite is kicking A$$ and even I, a hardcore PSP user plan on purchasing one soon.

However, with the recent brilliant work of Exophase and his stated continuation in developing gpSP, GBA can now be played on the PSP which now makes it far better than the Nintendo DS.

In terms of commercial game quality, its going to be a no-holds-barred shootout for the next 3 months with TONS of great games coming out for both the PSP & Nintendo DS. Even the GBA will see Final Fantasy V & VI released soon. And if they are playable on the PSP, I'd rather play them on the PSP hardware rather than the DS or GBA hardware.

Does anyone know if the newest DS Lites and/ or special editions are compatible with the SuperCard, Passkey, etc to run homebrew?

I would think Nintendo would try to take a page from Sony's book and prevent homebrew on the DS by maybe updating the hardware or something. But then again, the DS is selling so well as well as their games that Nintendo might not even be worried about it.
