Those are advantages, but the PSP still sold extremely well in its first year, despite its performance disadvantages. The real reason the DS outpaced it it simply that it had a bunch of killer apps, while the PSP has yet to have a true one. |
Its a lot more than just being that simple.
Why has the PSP not had any killer apps? I think most people will agree that "better" games can be found on the PSP?
IMO, it all comes down to the nature of the device itself. The PSP is a "portable console", whereas the DS is a true "handheld" device. Any many of the reasons for this come back to the choice of media, and the pros/cons that follow.

I am an avid gamer, and have (almost) owned every console/handheld released (until the current gen anyway - mainly due to time constraints).
The PSP has (honestly) zero attraction/pull for me. I really do just see it, as a PS2 + screen + power supply - all rolled into one (but one that doesn't play PS2 titles).
(anyway - I have work to do... :P)Gesta Non Verba
