So Patapon , CC , Wipeout Pulse , Chainsof Olympus , Dissidia , Ecochrome are games that wont make wawes ... I dont think so . And what major DS game is comming out this year , that makes the PSPs lineup mediocre ? I realy want to know . Or mayeb the fact that at this point the PSP has the highest rated portable game and it has more 8+ rated games than the DS , makes you say this . I realy cant se where the awesomness of the DSs game library comes from . Yes NSMB is cool , but again its another Mario game . LoZ is great to , but its just a new Zelda game . Both the PSP and the DS have their own share of spinoffs/ports , so I dont think that we can say that ones library is wors than the others ...

1.)My response to your what big DS game is comming out question:

Dragon Quest 9. This is one of the biggest games all year for any system. It's going to be huge in Japan, and it will probably outsell every game on King of Wale's list combined! This game will be better than all of the RPG's the PSP is getting by far! It's not a spin-off and has Level 5 working on the game. Dragon Quest 9 might just be the JRPG of the year; there's no doubt that it will outscore all the others including the PSP's Kingdom Hearts game.

2.)The reason the why DS's library is so awesome:

I like it because it has a lot of quality games in the genres that work best for handhelds. It has a lot of pick-up-and-play RPG's that don't require you to play them as a console RPG. Pokemon is the best example. Games like Pokemon are games you can play anywhere, any time, and any place; whereas a game like Final Fantasy becomes useless in situations like waiting for a bus or something. A lot of the PSP's games require long periods of time to play them properly. The DS is great when it comes to quality games that manage to take advantage of the fact that the system is a handheld.

I think you misunderstood my post, Hunter_Alien. I was not critisizing the PSP itself or it's library. I happen to think that the PSP has a great library, and it does what it's good at better than any other system including the DS. However, this list does not make '08 the PSP's best year. The PSP has had bigger games than these in it's past years. Games like Metal Gear Solid and Grand Theft Auto are bigger than the games on this list.

 Thst the problem . It will be big in Japan , and it will sell decent in other teritories . Dont get me wrong , but I dont want just one great game/year , I rather have a bit more . MGS and GTAs have smaller ratings than GoW on the PSP , so no , they are not bigger . GTA may push more systems , but MGS : PO deffinatly didnt push as many PSPs as CoO or CC will ( or in the case of CC , had ) . 

  Yes , they where many great games already on the PSP , and I was allways telling this to people , but in such a high quantity/year , not realy . CoO , CC , MHP2G , Dissidia and KH : BBS are allready hyped to the skyes , and for the ratings ... afther all the hype it got , Im not shure that DQ9 will be that amazing , and except Japan it wont have nowhere else a big impact , especially not in Europe , where on the DS games like BRain Training , Mario & Sonic and Imagine Babies are the lead sellers ( OK , Imagine Babies is only in the top 30 :P ) .

 

   Im shure that DQ9 will do over 5 million worldwide , but look at the much smaller instalbase of the PSP , and see that MHF2 made over 2 million , so those numbers arent that impressive as they used to be anymore ...
