About the author:  I'm a long time Nintendo fan, at some point owning every single console Nintendo has ever made (except Virtual Boy).  I've also purchased every Sony console ever made.  I currently own six Nintendo DS systems and two PSPs.  Purchased the Nintendo DS on day one and eventually bought a PSP in 2009.  The PSP almost immediately became my favorite portable of all time.  I purchased a 3DS in June of 2011 and a PSV on launch day in 2012.  Guys, I'm just a fan of gaming--all of gaming--and I've spent a fair amount of time with both.  How do they compare in my opinion?  Stay tuned......

 

First things first.  The systems evolve.  The DS/PSP you can buy now is not the DS/PSP that launched.  More features, sleeker design, better hardware all around.  Nothing is written in stone.  The same can already be said about the 3DS/PSV.  In a few short months since launch, the 3DS has already seen its share of updates.  The PSV had an update right out of the box.  The game has changed.

I'll be comparing the consoles in these categories:  Design, features, interface, conectivity, games,  overall power, and miscellaneous.  It's time for the main event.  Let's do this.
