the PSP has been in the market since late 2004 early 2005, Nintendo have the advantage of the handheld market because they've had 19 years with the GameBoy series and another few years on top of that with the Game&Watch series. Nintendo know only too well what they are doing in th market, and they also know when to lower prices on gaming units. oneday SONY will learn and catch up to Nintendo in this market!Quote:

DS is not for kids, it is just better then PSP for *real* games (AKA not homebrew or emulated games).
Only say DS is for kids, if you actualy own a DS, and if you own a DS, dont that make you a kid in your theory any way? :-p
With the Wii and DS against them, Sony dont stand a chance, no wonder they said there not planning on a playstation 4 happening.
Only thing sony has for them really is Square soft/enix/what ever's loyalty.
the whole nintendo games are for kidsQuote:

hmm... if the games for PSP sell so little, then 3rd party support will soon go away.
Anyone denying that Nintendo CATERS TO CHILDREN is really just fooling themself; it has been their practice since the dawn of time. N64 had a few good adult titles, but on the whole, Nintendo is widely regarded by just about everyone in the game industry as a business that produces games for kids and young teens.
Sure, Nintendogs looks fun, I'll admit that, but I have no desire to own a DS otherwise. But there is the crux of the issue, kid's games can apply to adults just as well.
However I believe that the Japanese like these types of games more oft than Americans. The PSP had a better track record in the US than the DS did in the past, according to this article (may be obsolete now, haven't found anything more recent):

That was long, long time ago.
It's just that Nintendo caters to children better than Sony. Also, why does everyone have any Nintendo emulator if they were not going to play the Mario series, or any other "kids" games. I think that statement is BS. Also, saying that PSP is for mature gamers is also BS. Most of those "mature" PSP users start these stupid arguments about PSP is better than DS because... or Nintendo sucks because... its just getting really old. Pick up a DS and make your own judgements not because someone else (or a group of someone elses) says something bad about it. I can say plenty of bad things about each one, but everyone already knows the +/- points of each, so it's really pointless. The main point is that Sony got in the market way too late and did poorly in marketing their product and that is why their sales are moot.Quote:

dont forget mario kart, with its wi-fi play its easily the best multi player game on a hand held, between friends or through the net.
I had a DS long before I got my PSP, it doesnt get used a lot at the moment coz im busy exploring my new hardware, but the original purchase was based on the games available for the system comercially, emultors and homebrew didnt come into the equastion.
All this "mines better than yours" is crap, just play games and enjoy them, who cares what system its on if its a good one.
Give that man a cigar! :thumbup:Quote:
