@Hisiru- i will agree with you that the PSP has alot more potential then the DS that the dev's simply aren't taking advantage of overall just yet... however...

Dragon Quest IX/FFIV/Golden Sun,  is all a matter of opinion, same goes for my phantasy star portable 2 post earlier, the dif is though i've pretty much seen what the DS has to offer graphiclly, its decent but a does not come close to what PSP is capable of, and to be honest i also give PSP more praise then the DS for the simple FACT that the PSP is the only handheld to not only SURVIVE against a Nintendo based handheld gaming device but its also taken away quite a handful of exclusives that COULD have been DS exclusive but since PSP is around that didn't happen.

For Example, if it was only DS, chances are Phantasy Star Portable 2 would most likely be Phantasy Star DS 2, but again, since PSP is around THAT did not and WILL not happen.

Anyways, i hate monopolys, and nintendo has had its crown for far to long when it comes to portable gaming, and in MY opinion, i feel Sony has done portable gaming better then the Nintendo has done with the DS this gen, im not saying the DS is bad, just PSP is better for various reasons, exclusive games like PSP2 being one of those examples. along with Crisis Core and Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep and many others.

 

I couldnt disagree more with that bolded part. Monopolys are there for a reason and the reason why nintendo holds a monopoly is because they are the only developer that can differenciate between handheld gaming and console gaming.......the PSP is just a gimped ps2 and as such will receive gimped ps2 games while the DS will get games that will not fundamentally work unless they are on the DS. So what exactly has sony done better than nintendo in portable gaming this gen?

Nintendo rightfully should hold the monopoly over handhelds because I can guarantee if another company held it with the same mentality as sony (where handheld gaming=console games) than for sure handheld gaming will die.

Pfft, i respect your opinion dude, however i strongly disagree with you, no one deserves a monoply, no one, the PS2 was great but even it went way over-board, Original Xbox should have gotton more shine and Gamecube should have been FAAAR better then what it actually was.

i don't believe in 1 gaming platform > all others, you can if you want, but just remember, the one who controls over all can ask for any price they want for there games and products, tell me, do you really want that? because i don't which is why i'll continue to support the PSP more then the DS yet still enjoy what the DS has to offer nice and fairly. *tips hat* good day sir.
