DS Trampling PSP in Japan

[comicgeek]

Sony should find a way to reduce the prices of the games... The price of the games are so expensive for a handheld... The DS i think has much more buyers since the games are cheaper and the unit itself is cheap. So no matter how you say your product is so innovative on many things that wont incline anybody to buy your product because of its too steep price. Add to the fact that Sony tries to control the usage of their products. Like **** man I bought this $#@! so this is mine I can do what I want with it - I'm gonna hack it. I never heard of Nintendo complaining about Flashcarts, roms and others on the GBA, DS and others.

hmm nintendo DS sells more
whats the problem you judge a system just because of the sales
me personally i give a s**t if a system sells or not
i bought a PC when everybody around me was playing PS2
then i learned about the PSP (great device )
i studied the handheld market properly before i went to a store to buy a system
DS was one option. PDA,Portable Video Player where the others
i wanted a device thats capable to do different things like video & mp3 playback, games all sorts of things
so i looked carefully and decided to buy a PSP
the Play Station Portable won for me because it had everything in it
games video mp3 usbstorage
after i bought the PSP i learned about homebrew and it convinced me in my decision to buy one
now im using the 1.5 fw and all the great brews out there
IR SHELL 3.0 KICKS ASS by the way
i think its up to you which system you buy

and pleeze no fanboyism

The psp can probably emulate the nintendo ds sooner or later. OMG, you don't get touchscreen with psp!!! Who cares!!! You can't emulate $#@! with the nintendo crap ds. While, the psp you can emulate alot. I thought the japanese were smart, why would you buy a nintendo ds? Are japanese people rich or something? To throw money away, instead of playing homebrew

Maybe its because they want to play new games, instead of old games they maybe already own on the original systems.

If I was 10 years old I would prefer a nintendo DS.

Actually, I own a DSLite and a load of games. So I don't judge based on sales, I judge from personal experience. PSP is just an iPod video that can play games and uses proprietary media instead of a hard drive and has good graphics capability. As a gaming device, it's not as good. Short battery life is one of the hurtful points of the PSP.

I beg to differ. SNES is coming along nicely, NES is pretty much perfect, it has Doom with online capability (yes online/multiplayer) and tons of homebrew. You have to try before you judge.

It's my first post in awhile. And I don't see a reason to post this in a PSP forum. And people saying that the DS line-up is crap that's bull. Name a PSP game that's gotten a perfect score from Famitsu? The PSP is what I like to call. The Playstation Potential. It's a system that's capable. Just not being taken advantage of because the focus it seems is how exact to the console version can we get this game to look. You guys are comparing the DS and the PSP out of the fact of MP3 and Video playback as well. If the the DS had video and MP3 playback out of the box I'd understand. But the comparing is ridiculous. Honestly. I like both consoles. I like the PSP's multimeda. I mean c'mon. You can spend hours screwing with features in the XMB. And with the DS you can play Mario Kart or Meteos til' you realized you are dying and that you never got laid.
