The DS may also be selling better because it has more, better games. The PSP is personally my favorite handheld I've ever had, but there are only a few games on it I like. I have 4x as many games on my DS. The PSP is the better handheld, but the DS has a better library of games.


It has a wider variety of quality games for various audiences. This is true. The PSP has plenty of quality games, but they are typically for the core playstation audience who already owned a PS2. You could technically call it a mini PS2.

So my having a PS2 should increase my interest in the PSP's library?


Technically yes. It is the PS2 spiritual successor today that has the games the PS2 should have or has with similar quality. I would have half a mind to sell my PS2 and just have a PSP right now for the quality of games that appeal to me rather than the PS2 as of late. Let me count the ways, shall I?

...

As I said....it is a PS2 successor that has more value in it right now than a PS2. With these up to date games, it is almost sad to not turn your back on a PS2 for a PSP with the current quality of support the PSP is getting.

 

Well, it all depends on the persons preferences in games I guess, but you certainly cannot say a blanket statement that PSP is for old PS2 owners.  I had more games on my PS2 than any other 6th Gen system, but still PSP has barely anything I want compared to DS.  On your list, only one of those games appeal to me.


The PSP is essentially a portable with similar power to the PS2. That was my list of games that interest me. There are far more quality games on the PSP though. If you like the DS, thats awesome, but it doesn't change the the fact that the quality of the games the PSP offers is remarkably similar to the PS2 before Sony cut off support of most first party titles and major third party.
