I don't understand this at all. The PSP has not had an AAA in a year and yet people defend it to no end almost equalling the love for the DS (a system that already has 2 AAA's this year).

If this thread was about the Wii, no one would understand people defending the Wii. Apparently, Gamespot is only law when it comes to the Wii.

nintendo just can't do no right in the eyes of the average system wars dweller. They've spent so much time bashing the wii and nintendo (understandably of course. The wii's been doing horrible lately)) that they forgot that the DS has an awesome library.

I have to say the psp is better, but there are some good things about the ds. Pros Ds: can play old gba games, touchscreen, camera, Internet, don't have to buy memory cards, cheaper, better battery Psp: larger screen, much better graphics, Internet, music, video, photos, Playstation store, digital games (for those who like this feature) From this perspective, they look about equal, and they pretty much are, but, in my opinion; - The ds is too "childish". The only people I have seen play a ds are 10 year olds. - The psp games are superior. This is in terms of graphics and overall depth and functionally. - The ds graphics are really bad for some games. In Mario kart this is fine, but in games like madden or any rpg game, good graphics are vital. - Good ds games are limited. The pokemon title has been overdone. How many editions can you come up with? Soon they'll be making up colors or naming their games "Pokemon: Tangerine Edition. Other than pokemon, all the ds really has is Mario. - The psp controls are better. Now I'm not saying the touchscreen is bad, I'm just comparing the d-pad to the thumbstick and the abundance of buttons on the psp to the paucity of buttons on the ds. - The ability to download demos of games on the pap is very handy. - The ds strikes a very casual gaming tone, and while this is good for the many casual gamers, I'm looking for a more serious gaming experience from the psp. Final Word: If you are a really casual gamer, go with the ds, based on it's cost and type of games. But if you want a truly immersive gaming experience, your best bet is clearly the psp system.

I use my DS to play RPGS. I use my PSP to blow s*** up. Couldn't be happier.

Now playing: Radiant Historia, Macross Ace Frontier

While the PSP does have Peace Walker and Ghost of Sparta, the DS is equally good for the Ace Attorney series. Definitely one of my top favorite series ever.

PSP. Has better games. MGS: Peace Walker and GoW: Ghost of Sparta alone are worth getting a psp.

Last gen (still this gen to me) I got the DS Lite. But this gen I will be getting the PSP2. I think both the DS and PSP are good handhelds though.

The ds graphics are really badTsdrifter

They aren't that shabby but it lacks texture filtering.

I like both very much, but for very different reasons. But I'll have to give it to DS for having the most games I'm interested in.

I own both and I think that they are both good but I prefer my psp over my DS. The DS doesn't have a lot of games that interest me.

They were both pretty disapointing but the DS is better. The PSP was even worse than the Gamecube. Such awfully long game droughts.

I'll go with the psp because of the superior hardware while also having great jrpgs, combined with several good platformers and action (GoW) games. And because they have Crisis Core and the Valkyria Chronicles games.
