its sort of obvious the DS won over the mediastation portible, teh pirates on the psp are much worse than on DS.

not bashing here, the psp is an exelent second console, it did magnificantly to even take some marketshare away from nintendo, but can we agree that unless microsoft releces a handheld, the DS is fimly in first.

Well both in my mind are successes.. Though the PSP doesn't have as high as sales as DS its still large.. Also the piracy on the psp is only due to Sony's incompetence with their platforms.. its been over a year and they have only managed to release some 10 psone games to download from the store..

The arguement is dying out as people soon realize that the DS is in fact, the superior handheld. There are still a few cows here and there that are still in denial though.

Well I wouldn't say the DS is superior.. I have played both handhelds and they are both great ones that I really can't say one is superior over the other.. The DS just seems to appeal to more people, but popularity doesn't always mean quality.

'Superior' as in the one who won System Wars.

Everyone thought the PSP was going to win. Then 597,628 happened, and it began.

You contradicted yourself. Of course you can argue the handheld wars, who has the better games? The hardware portion of the war is over though.

It doesn't really feel like a battle, they appeal to different gamers and are very disimilar. Both will continue to sell, but DS will be ahead due to its accessibility. This is nintendos policy as of now. Make fun, often cute, often party based games that focus on wacky innovation rather than advanced graphics and fancy long games. Its the same way wii continues to outsell 360 and ps3.

there's plenty of argument for the psp being better than the ds. The userbase is very respectable as well, nintendo's biggest competition in handhelds... ever

On a side note. PSP Software sales are absolutly abismal. When you constantly sell more hardware then software each week thats not a good sign.
