Now I understand what you are saying , an dif you read my first post that I made here you can see that I to agreed untill a point that they are competitors . The ones that like both 'happy' and 'intense' are much fewer than the ones who like either one or the other . The PSP crowd is mostly based on people who like 'intense' while the DS crowd is more into 'happy' . There is only ~ 30% of PSP or DS owners whom own both , and for only this 30% they are competing software wise , or later on hardware wise when a redesign will arrive ( 30% is just a presumtion ) and the rest are the ones whom only have one , and they know they only want one of them ...

Yes they are competing to one point , but luckily both have a pretty big 'exclusive' market for themselves .

Hunter_Alien good grief.

Must you split hairs over something not positive being said about the PSP? And no offense, but I can't help but wonder (given your avatar and signiture) if there is just the hint of any bias in your responses within a thread where 99% of the posters disagree with you.

Oh and you own 2 DS? I guess that makes you unbiased, now let's just ignore your avatar, signiture and the dancing patapons.

Correction : I owned 2 DSs . My first one was bought in 05 , and my Black DS Lite was bought this January , just to sell it afther little over a month ( What can I say , I only played it intensly for ~ a week and then got bored of it :? ) .

Also , never in my life I tried to hide the fact that Im a PSP fanboy ! Even the contrary , I only tried to make it more obvious . Why ? Is there a law that states that I cant be a fanboy ? 95% of this sites users are fanboys , I just happen to like the least popular system . Whenever there is a Wii/DS bashing thread , their respective fanboys jump to protect it , why shouldent I do the same , especially when I PARTIALLY ( read that a couple of times , so I wont have to repeat it for the 4th time ) disagree with the poster ?

99% of the posters disagree with me ? Well thank god that there is at least somebody who is different , and there are more responses than the usual " I agree " . I do hope that my speach freedom wont be violated here , and I see its not , so I do think that I have my right to respond whatever I want untill its not off topic , or I dont violate any other rules of the site ...

"DS is no competition for PSP, says Sony "

Yeah, because they are in competition with Tiger Handhelds, Gizmondo and www.leapsandbounds.com

Seriously are they on crizzack

:)

I like PSP(somewhat) but thier PR makes psp look wack (and the PR folk too)

EDIT: Just saw PSP has Kingdom Hearts this year. Loving it even more.

I own 1 handheld. I chose a DS over a PSP.
If i want a media device I will get the 80GB Zune. Or Video Ipod.

There's nothing wrong with the discussion Hunter and I were having, we both just misunderstood each others' points to a degree

 Seriously though. Check out the 08 best year for psp thread for a good laugh.

He just can't take it when someone says the slightest negative comment on psp.

lol

They accidently got it backwards. Obviously they meant to say that the PSP is No Competition for the DS, which it isn't.

It is probably accurate to say that the PSP and the DS are not in competition. It is unlikely that Sony meant for the PSP not to compete directly with the DS

Okay Honestly it's hard to argue with the fact that they are in the same market. It's just like the two examples that were used above. I honestly can say since I bought The World Ends with You that it took a possible sale away from the PSP. After all I was looking at God of War at the same time. I made my choice based on my tastes but to say the PSP is in a different market because of gamers various tastes is not a very good argument really. It's more like they needed a boost of confidence and they had to make an excuse. This makes them look desperate which is sad because the PSP is a good system and I love it. They shouldn't make statements like this.
