i just don't get your point really, common sense doesn't allow me to magically think DS is current gen because 3DS can play DS games. it just really doesn't make any sense, why would DS's RPG library matter when PSP's Library is neglected ? they both can be played on their current counterparts. (3DS , Vita) and both are still being supported with JRPG releases, so why DS and not PSP?

as for Wii, it doesn't really look nice for JRPGs on that console, since Nintendo refuses to release their JRPGs in the west.

as for Wii-U which you can argue that is the same sitiuation as DS>3DS , they haven't shown any RPG game yet, heck they haven't shown ANY games yet, we barely know anything about the console, just controller.

PSP's library is not all on PSN and not all of it will you be able to play on Vita, not to mention that it may force rebuys and such. Its library is also hugely smaller, and really flooded with remakes (DS is not without fault there - but there's a huge lot of new stuff, much much much much more than PSP). That makes for higher prices, lower selection, and less convenience.

My point is that he's a dick. He praises Sony hardware, and the PSP as well, calling it the "dream RPG lover's handheld" - it's great for RPG's, but nowhere near the DS. After that, he ignores the DS, and simultaniously takes a shot at 3DS and notes good games about it. Inconsistent, and especially funny since all he mentions for Vita are remakes, aside from Ruin (then mentions unseen games from various companies), while all the proven new stuff is 3DS and the article focuses on Vita, missing its actual new games = the new Ys, Ragnarok game, and a bunch of stuff thats there and I can't remember. How are those remakes a comeback? If anything, the 3DS that got more new blood coming for it than the PSV is the centre of comeback with the PS3 firmly holding its hand. Personally, I prefer the PSV. But he's with an agenda, and I don't like it.

my god, i am not going to be sound like a broken record, i've said what i've said a couple of times.

about the bolded read the part under "the West is alive"

also i really don't see how "he tokea shot at 3DS" we all know that the handheld is controversial. also your argument about PSP library not mattering while DS library should matter is still a mystery to me, just because you prefer one over the other doesn't mean that the other doesn't exist.

both the DS and PSP shouldn't exist in the same sentense as "Comeback", they are old, they aren't the future, they are OLD, O.L.D , Old and we are talking about JRPGs in general here, making a comeback on CURRENT consoles, in the WEST, not OLD and in the EAST or being backward compatible with anything. sheesh.
