I have a few more DS game for you to add, Pezus. Since it seems like DS isn't getting much love :(

Tetris DS
Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword
The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks
Metroid Prime Hunters
Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin

Edit: It looks like you're using one game to represent a franchise, so skip Spirit tracks and Portrait of Ruin.

Cmon, tell me thats not what they are thinking. You cant

That never occured to me, to be honest.  I took the question at face value.

What a certain type of console-centric people are always going to struggle with, I think, is understanding that not everyone else is like them.  Most people are into gaming for the games, not because they want to be in some 'A Game of Thrones' scenario with pieces of electronics.  Not everyone thinks of every thread or comment in terms of championing their favorite console or attacking everything else.  It's really not normal.



I think its pretty obvious that the PS2 has a better library of software, but one is a console and the other is a portable. Portable games are not designed as long cinematic experience as rule of thumb. Those are obviously better entertainment for the living room.

What a worthless post. At least try to add something to the thread rather than attacking the OP.

OT: I would have to go with the PS2 since I never really got into the DS. But because of that same reason I wont vote for either because I can't see both sides of the argument that well.

Come on comparing a home console to a portable device is unfair. It woud be more interesting to see a PSP vs DS or PS2 vs SNES comparison



I'm sorry but Pokemon + 2D Mario + Mario Kart + Chrono Trigger + Dragon Quest and Squeenix RPG galore in combo is not a fair opponent to any system except the PC.

DS by a lightyear.

I was actually thinking about this earlier but I have to say the PS2 outshines the NDS in software especially when it comes to RPGs imo.


RPG = PS2 (possibly debatable but in terms of newer IPs/installations the PS2 wins while the NDS wins the remakes)
Platformers = NDS
Racing = PS2
Action = PS2
Fighters = PS2
Sports = PS2
Strategy = NDS (?)
Puzzles = NDS
Shooters = PS2

Platformers!?  Ratchet, Jak, and Sly destroy Mario with their combined strength!

Chrono Trigger is on PS2 due to BC.  Squeenix RPG galore as well with new ones plus the PSone ones.
