It's REALLY scary when a game software and hardware company is competing with an electronics GIANT that sells game software and hardware, every electronic device imaginable, and makes blockbuster movies.

Another perspective: the DS beat out the PSP, even though the PSP had support from Rockstar (GTA) Konami (MGS) and Square (FF) from the beginning. In essence -- given that Nintendo's own software is clearly the main software for the DS -- Nintendo's handheld and software single handedly defeated the combined efforts of Sony, Take Two, Konami, and SquareEnix.


The PSP never did and still doesn't have much Square support.  The vast majority of SE support has been on the DS, and remains on the DS.  14 games (2 remakes, 1 of which was never released in America) vs. 8 games (6 remakes).  Certainly SE was never allied against Nintendo.  In fact, they took their biggest JRPG in Japan and stuck it's primary sequel on the DS, along with tons of spinoffs.  I'll agree that at least initially Take Two (more than Rockstar, since they are the owners of Rockstar) showed more PSP support, but just yesterday claimed their entire company is focused on Nintendo games over the next year.  Konami made 2 big Castlevania games for DS.  I'd say 3rd party support is hardly lacking from the DS right now, though maybe it was some at first.
