why is the ds more popular than the psp???

Well I have both I dunno right now I've been on my ds non-stop cuz of Chrono trigger but thats another story :P

1.psp is more powerful as it is pricey

2.DS is more cheaper

3.DS has variety (Total shovelware)

4.PSP has short library but most of them are awesome plus you can buy games off the PS store the DS doesn't even have an Internet browser

Really people who say that Its because of sales

Its because

1 The DS would get more sales as it is becoming adult freindly.

2 Nintendo? It has grown up with video gaming junkies, so the DS will be praised out of fanyboyism.

3 Better libary. (The PSP is a PS2 for your pocket)

4 Uniuqe.

Well it seems Nintendo knows Handheld gaming Gameboy,Gameboycolor,Gameboy Advance,Gameboy Advance Sp,Gameboy Micro, Nintendo DS, Nintendo DS lite. And Now Ninendo DSi.

mainly Nintnedo's Stlye of games is suited to handheld gaming. Plus Nintendo handhelds are cheaper than the competition. Plus Nintendo is still popular with people.

Cost is probobly a huge factor. Its also a neat idea, having two screens (one a touch screen) as the primary means of control. I don't think that anyone can argue that it has a huge software library (both good and bad games).

All in all its a fun system.

But, also remember, that popular things are generally trash.

Uhhh... I guess what I am saying is form your own opinion after spending time with both systems. I actually have Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core playing on my PSP and Final Fantasty IV playing on my DS :)

The DS has just a much larger libary, and you can probably get around 50 good games on the DS, while 20 great one's on the PSP. And most people carry around a cellphone/ipod and a ds, so they really don't need the multimedia stuff, and they have their ds for their gaming, considering a larger amount of games (there may be shovelware on the ds, but it's good games make up for it. It's not like anyone's forcing you to buy Petz Horses)Ze_Common_Cold

PSP also have Petz Horse too.

I enjoy playing both in the same way, but I agree that the DS has a better library.

DS games I own: Pokemon Diamond, Zelda Phantom Hourglass, The World Ends With You, Chrono Trigger DS, FF Tactics A2, Phantasy Star Zero, Soma Bringer

DS games I want: Pokemon Platinum, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days

PSP games I own: Crisis Core FF VII, Monster Hunter Portable 2, FF Tactics War of the Lions

PSP games I want: Dissidia, Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, FF Agito XIII, Phantasy Star Portable, Monster Hunter portable 3

Conclusion: DS best portable for now, PSP more promising

My mum who is 54 and has never played video games owns a DS for Brain Training type stuff, book collections and cookery recipes. My nephew and 2 nieces all own DS's which are their first gaming experience for games like Nintendogs, Petz, Barbie and other stuff with cute or pink covers.

In short the DS's demography is massive and pretty much appeals to everyone where as the PSP is still for your 'normal' gaming ages of around 14-40.

Nintendo is only better because it appeals to younger aduiences, and that parents played with Nintendo when they were younger as well. Nintendo has been around a lot longer, thus knowing more tricks of the trade, and since it has a such a large library of child-safe games people prefer to buy it. Not to mention its cheaper, and has more people going for it.

Unlike what most people believe, the Nintendo DS gets as much problems as the Sony PSP. I've done a ton of research, while people say the PSP has problems with homebrew and piracy so does the Nintendo DS. They have been going after homebrew and piracy allowing tools and are suing them. Its only goes back to the point that its always been noted as a child-safe gaming device, all of the Nintendo devices have.

Nintendo has Pokemon and Tetris games for DS. I still wonder why Tetris may not come out to PSP yet.DeafNYCPlayer

Yeah, but PSP has Lumines...And Lumines = WIN.
