I should add that the PSP's biggest problem is its predecessors.

The PSP wasn't supposed to merely do well. It was supposed to usher in a new era of portable gaming, as the PS1 ushered in a new era of home gaming.

It was supposed to have overwhelming developer support, with every third party game of consequense being (mostly) exclusive to the PSP. And unlike the GC, which allowed for multiplatform games, the DS was supposed to be so weak, no developer would want to touch it, outside of Pokemon ripoffs.

Franchises, like Castlevania and Final Fantasy, were not supposed to have ANY games on the DS (outside of Chrystal Chronicles, but that wouldn't count). It doesn't matter that Chrisis Core and the enhanced remakes of Rhondo of Blood and Symphony of the Night are on the PSP. The DS still got Dawn of Sorrow, Portrait of Ruin, an enhanced remake of FF3, and is getting DQ9.

From past history, developers should have abandoned Nintendo for the better system. There was no monopoly (that was just used as an exuse once the DS pulled ahead), only a lack of serious competition, which the PSP truly is. So it was supposed to have CRUSHED the DS, not merely "got their foot in the (handheld) door".

Now I should make this clear this is not me bashing the PSP. This is a reflection of the hype and expectations of the PSP. Handhelds were supposedly in a ghetto, but Kaz Harai was not the only one claiming that. Sony fans were proclaiming the coming of the PSP all over the place. After the launch honeymoon, the drought of original games, and the flood of ports started. Until something comes along and erases the memory of that disappointment, the PSP will look like a failure by comparison, not by reality.

The PSP is gonna have a GREAT year in 2007. I think it has more, better games than the DS... Might skyrocket sales for awhile. :D

 You have a list?

You don't like me anymore, do you?

I did not try to bash the PSP, but I tried to explain why people say that it has no good games even if it does.

I think that there are some great games. It's just that many of them are worse versions of PS2 games, and frankly, your mostly going to get a better experience on a console

There are good games on every system.  Whether there are enough that appeal to a lot of people or that overcome the system's other faults is another matter.  Saying that a user can go buy extra stuff to fix the PSP's many glaring flaws as a gaming machine -- load times, battery life, size, delicacy, memory requirement -- isn't really relevant since that just drives up the price further when the DSL already has all those things covered for cheaper and has its own library of great games.

If you play a LOT and have money to burn then buying both is a great combo clearly but if you pick one most people are picking the DS because of the overall gaming experience.  The PSP's multimedia functions don't help it be a better gaming machine.  PSP is a good handheld, the DS is just better.

Well here's a list of games for May alone (I've highlighted the better ones IMO) and I am pretty certain that there will be a fair few games in this list that will score 80% or above:

Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops
Tony Hawk's Project 8
Diner Dash
Spectral vs Generation
Spinout
Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters
Hard Rock Casino
Heatseeker
Harvest Moon: Innocent Life
Xiaolin Showdown
Valhalla Knights
World Championship Poker
SBK 07: Superbikes World Championship
Super Fruitball
Dragonball Z Shin Budokai 2
SOCOM: Fireteam Bravo 2
Freak Out: Extreme Freeride
Hot Wheels: Ultimate Racing
Legend of the Dragon
Marvel Trading Game
Tomb Raider: Anniversary
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas
David Mirra BMX Challenge
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
Crush
Gangsters Ride
Winx Club: Join The Club
Driver 76
Great Battles Of Rome

I don't understand why you mention games like "spinout" or "gangsterride" or god forbide...."pirates of the carribean" those games do not attract to any understandable gamer on this earth, what kind of a list is that anyway, games i've(anybody normal person) never heard about, and all games that i possible could play, i've already got to a stationary console... like tony hawk, ratchet and at least 50% och your list following.

if thats all you can do...i'm sure glade i bought a ds instead of a psp.

the problem is the majority of this games are ports or a "series games" if you want a originals games, the ds is the option, for example hotel dusk:room 215, lunar knights, spectrobes, contact, electroplankton, etc, are games especially made for the ds.     If you want top rated games by critics, you have yoshi island, pokemon d/p, elite beat agents, castlevania, nintendog, final fantasy III etc.    If you want great number of games you have this example: http://www.nintendo.co.jp/schedule/index.html , only in japan in a week (26 april 2007)  are 21 new games and if you want more hoped games you have DQ IX, Final fantasy XII RW, Mario vs Sonic, Sonic Rush Adventure, etc.

I like the PSP and i want a PSP2 but this dont blind me to see that the DS is the best handled in this moment, equal the ps2 is a best console than the gamecube (and the gamecube have great games), the graphics is not the most important.

I'd have to agree with what most seem to be saying here.  The PSP has great games, the question is, are they games people want to play on handhelds.  Sony fanboys and game journalists ridiculed the power of the DS in comparison to the PSP but one thing it did was forced game makers to make games specifically for the DS which meant specifically for a handheld.  As I expected the PSP's power has turned out to be a problem since most of the games are simple PS2 ports.  Good games I'm sure, just not what the handheld market wants as shown by their sales.

Another problem as mentioned by some is that the PSP, like the GC, has developed a reputation as the loser system.  Justified or not this limits things like word of mouth which most mainstream game buyers still rely on.  Admittedly some also take to the PSP has no games mantra with such gusto because Sony fanboys have spent a decade making fun of Nintendo "loser" systems and their limited game selection and now the shoe is on the other foot.  It's even sweeter because of the predictions and claims that Sony fanboys lapped up that the PSP was going to destroy the DS and extend Sony domination into handhelds.

To whoever said it, I'd say the DS beats the PSP in price (the most important category), portability (also important for a portable system), game selection, load times, battery life, ruggedness, innovation, well essentially all of the important aspects of a handheld.  The PSP is better in graphics, sound, multimedia, or things that aren't especially important for a handheld (or a console for that matter).
