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...
