Nintendo DS selling higher than PSP?!

[tidusuk123]

well, generally I think it's "he who controlls square rules the earth", and i dont agree with that, but alot of people do.. anyways, this is one of the first times square-enix will have strong support for two consoles of oposing companies, and because of the vast differance in hardware between the competition, we will see differant styles of games between each one.. so while exclusive games might come on one system, differant exclusives will come on another.

and i forgot what my argument was.. im very tired.. mabey someone can get at what i was trying to point out.

Firstly Lol!! Secondly, I think you were trying to say that Final Fantasy will be on both consoles when I said that "games like Final Fantasy may make the PSP stronger" and not only on the PSP...

I don't see how having 2 screens is so innovative. I have not seen the dual screen used effectivly in any game at all. All it does is prevent a crowded screen, and if Nintendo was so worried about that, then they could have made just one big screen to play on. To me, the only real innovation is the use of the stylus (Just look at Nintendogs and Metroid Prime:First Hunt), and that had me content for a time, but after a while I wanted something else.
I have owned a DS since it launched in the U.S.(and played and completed several games), and I don't think it can match the PSP in terms of actual gameplay.

All in all, I guess it's all a matter of preference-and I prefer the PSP

I suppose your right about the dual screen format, it hasn't been used that well but games like Sonic Rush and Another Code will change that. The touch screen has, Pac Pix is a good example of that, drawing pac man arrows and bombs and seeing them come to life is very cool and proves that the DS can give anb innotoive spin to a tryed and testsed concept, also games worth a mention with the use of the touch screen are Nintendogs and Wario ware Touched.

SPRUNG used the dual screens brilliantly, also it was very useful in Mario 64 - again the minigames used it excellently too. Has anyone played the one where you use the slingshot?

the one withe the bombs? yeah that was cool. mario 64 DS was a Rehas but I got to appluad Nintendo for the amount of extras they put in the game

my 2 cents.

I think the DS is an exiting piece of equipment, dual screen, bult in mic, touch screnn the possibilities ar fantastic. but what have they done with it...... come on, be honest!!
now they have released a couple of games that use the features and games sales are up, thats only to be expected.
but they released nintendogs, for gods sake, its a bloody tamagotchi!!!!!
until Nintendo release some decent software on the DS i'll stick with my PSP.

and on a side note, i don't think i could go down graphicly after useing the PSP. Everyone who see's it has to pick their jaw off the ground.

Ok the DS definitly has some enthralling things about it... touch screen....mic....dual screens. That definitly pust some edge into the games and that itself makes the games more original. Which means that every game will be different in a way. That is deffinatley attractive...at first. But in a few months people are going to stop and think about the psp. And the truth is if you evaluate the two on a piece of paper... like a chart. One side psp other side Ds and you list all the good qualities and you think...the psp will have more better things in it. Movies...WiFi...Text...Music....Photos...Homebrew. Yeah the DS will eventually get homebrew, but c'mon how much fun with emulators will you have with 2 buttons? The truth is once people realize it the PSP will stand out more

If people want a DS they will get one, good on them if thats what they want.


If people want a PSP they will get that.

people were all slagging off the PSP for defects before it was available in most places yet i'd be more concerned about people scratching the DS touch screen.

ROFL, you know nothing, have you actually seen a DS? It has four face buttons and two shoulder buttons, also DS has Wi fi as well.
Ds qualities Innotive games, cheaper games, Nintendo Online!, backwards compatibility. Both consoles have there own unigue qualities.

people are going to stop and think about the psp- What the hell is that about, do you think that suddenly everyone is going to get a PSP? No its not going to happen as said in this thread everyone is different and have their own gaming preferences. Some people like DS some people like PSP.
