R.i.p. Psp ?

[Tetris999]

Lets not start a DS fanboy vs PSP fanboy war, but lets face it, the DS is sold to more people for simple reasons.

A woman will feel more inclined to buy a DS than a PSP since they normally would prefer "colorful" games.(before I offend any women on these forums, I only say this because every woman that has ever played my PSP just wants to play "colorful" NES or SNES games)

A younger person would buy a DS over a PSP for the same reason as women, plus most younger people are more impatient and will have trouble waiting for a disc based game to laod. Then you also have income. These younger people probably only work part-time or don't have a well paying career.

A parent buying their child a portable is more often than not going to go for the cheaper one, which would be the DS. Heck, I even thought about buying a DS just because it was cheaper when I really wanted a PSP.(Got the PSP though and couldnt be happier )

Anybody who hates on $ony is not going to buy a PSP if they want a portable (unless they are an extreme graphics-$#@!) and its not like they have many other options besides Nintendo.

So who buys the PSP over the DS? Homebrew junkies, graphics-$#@!s, tech-buffs, people who want "PS2" games on the go, etc. The problem, these type of people do not add up like the mainstream people that buy the DS.

he may be new but thats words of wisdom for yeh

all the more reason for sony to open up the source and finally give full support to the homebrew community which has really shown the systems power.Instead of half hearted homebrew support-as if they didn't know 1.0 fw ran unsigned code

Sony may have failed on sales due to pricing.but succeed in quality the ds has practacally no homebrew meaning ds owners have to buy games that they own already plus new games the psp with homebrew gamers just get more games at a cheaper price having only device to hold multiple games. if sony somehow embrace homebrew to help them (by adding easy exploits there games people would buy more games and update.thats what made me buy gta! and thus get more revenue) sony can easily trample nintendo.

Just imagine if G4 or such covered the homebrew scene and showed people all the info they needed to get running classic games on their PSP's Of course it wouldn't tell them where or how to download anything illegally. It would just simply show them they could run so much more then just commercial games with alittle knowledge.

I love reading OPM where they ask developers and such whats on their PSP none have mentioned any homebrew. I can't believe non of them have any homebrew software it's just they fear the backlash of Sony if they showed support for it.

I believe this article is saying the truth but you cant compare the power of my sweet psp to a DS.

The PSP may not have the games right now to give it all the power it needs to strive but there are a lot of games on the way that will make the PSP soar. I can't wait for GTA or Silent Hill! It wont die, although UMD movies are. My PSP will survive!

I got my psp for the 525 SNES games that are currently on it. And my friends and family have done similiar with thiers. So go cram a ds lite (it is small after all) up your arse.

There's a SNES emulator for DS.

why not combine the good things about the psp and ds and make PSPDS!

I bet it would look like crap because the screen has such a crappy resolution and limited colors.
