I dont think that the DS would even exist if the PSP wouldent... Nintendo made the DS to be able to compete against Sony in a different way. Going head-to head wouldent have been a good decision, so they opted for something different, and it was a success. IMO if the PSP wouldent have been the market would be still ruled by a Game Boy ;)

 

I agree? but this is the truth

 

Nope the DS was announced March 03, then revealed at the e3 2003, at the same point as the PSP. Nintendo must have spent a lot of time developing the DS, so it most likely wasnt influenced by the PSP.

 

Ummmm the new Nintendo handheld should had been a much more powerfull Gameboy... there where actually rumors that it was almost as powerfull as a GC... Nintendo didnt give out no specific details about his new handheld, because they knew that Sony is working on one to. So just before the PSP was revealed they went with the backup plan to create something original, and thats when they started the DS project.

 

The truth is that the successor of the GBA is the PSP, while Nintendo went on a new, original route with the DS. Nobody knew what will happen, but luckily both survived, and helped eachother to use their own sistems in a more original and bigger way ;)
