The DS had few things going for it when it first came out. It was ugly. It had one bland color. Mario DS was its main mover and it was a port of an old N64 game. Great but not enough to completely hang your hat on. Well it also had zookeeper, which is still one of my favorite DS games. The PSP seemed poised to beating Nintendo at the game they themselves had invented. Nintendogs stemmed the tide, and really started the DS onto the path to mega platform. Everything else, the constant release of top end titles, the release of the DSLite, the release of different colors, all of those things culminated in the DS beating a PSP that was quite a success in its own right.
