The one piece colour models are quite eye-appealing. To me, the PSP looks clunky, nerdy, and a pain in the ass to keep on you. Good games are ultimately derives from personal taste. The DS has a good mix of genres and a full library, while the PSP library is improving and is coming out with a storm of games. Meh, I'd choose a DS, just because of the familiar ips. You can't go wrong with either systems; just learn to argue your purchase accordingly :P |
One thing I wish Sony would do is go to a clam-shell design like the DS or a slider configuration so that the system wasn't so long. IMO, the PSP's thin enough, but just too long to be a portable device you could pocket.
I also just wanted to point out that Nintendo titles are often called "familiar IPs" whereas Sony games are called "PS2 ports." I'm not calling you out, Oxford, b/c you didn't say that. I'm just pointing out the widespread trend.
My Top 5:
Shadow of the Colossus, Metal Gear Solid 3, Shenmue, Skies of Arcadia, Chrono Trigger
My 2 nex-gen systems: PS3 
and Wii 
Prediction Aug '08: We see the PSP2 released fall '09. Graphically, it's basically the same as the current system. UMD drive ditched and replaced by 4-8gb on board flash memory. Other upgrades: 2nd analog nub, touchscreen, blutooth, motion sensor. Design: Flip-style or slider. Size: Think Iphone. Cost: $199. Will be profitable on day 1.
