im probably gonna get a PSP if i get the job i applied for, cause ill have more money

Other than a few bad apples like Wario: Master of Disguise and Star Fox command, 1st party titles shake this stereotype. Also, DS has alot of good RPGs (can't wait for Chrno trigger!). I do afree with you though, DS has ALOT of games- but alot are in genres I don't like, such as rouglike, point and click, simulation, ect.

Firstly the control method is fine, and you are overexaggerating it. It is very easy to get use to. Secondly there are plenty of Action, Action-Adventures, MUCH MORE platformers on the ds. First Person SHooters are better on the psp, but 2s shooters are better on the ds. 

Action & Action-Adventure games on the ds.

Contra 4

The Legend of Zelda Phantom Hourglass

Castlevania:Dawn of Sorrow

Ninja Gaiden:Dragon Sword

Metal Slug 7

Mega Man ZX

Dragon Quest Heroes:Rocket Slime

Castlevania:Portrait of Ruin

 Shooters

Bangai-O Spirits

Geometry Wars Galaxies

Space Invaders Extreme

Glory Days 2

Nanostray 2

Metroid Prime Hunters

Platformers

New Super Mario Bros

Kirby:Canvas Curse

Sonic Rush Adventures

Yoshi Island 2

Exit Ds

Kirby Super Ultra Deluxe

Sonic Rush

Donkey Kong Jungle Climber

Kirby Squeak Squad

Super Princess Peach

Those are just a few of each genre you mentioned.

Also the DS is has many more quality Rpgs, and I would say a little more Strategy games.

Also the Ds even has genres that are pretty much nonexistant on the PSP like Adventure games, and Puzzle games.

There are Genres like Racing, Sports, and Fps/TPS that the ds has more of.

sc94597: I'm exagerating the controls? The distance you thumb has to stretch is exactly the distance between your fight thumb and the left analog stick on a PS2/PS3 controller.
Imagine playing an action/adventure/platforming game using the left analog stick with your right thumb? Metroid Prime I was unable to play for more than 20 minutes at a time. Terrible control scheme because they wanted to exploit the "innovative" control gimmick which actualy ruins the experience. The PSP nub is way more comfortable and located a mere 1 inch from the edge, not some touch screen located 4" and forces you to stretch your thumbs half way across the unit.
Sonic Rush good? I just explained how he randomly switches between the screens. It takes a good 1.5 seconds for your eyes to find him and refocus and I had friends who felt the same way. I've been playing videogames for the past 18 years with the character always staying in the same screen so why'd they go ahead and create a Sonic that randomly switches screens? Your eyes don't expect him to go. And most of the DS platformers are sidescollers and very few 3D platformers/adventure games like Daxter, Rachet and more 3D adventure games you can transfer from PSN. Mario 64? That's just a N64 port with extra characters that I've played to death at home on my N64; doesn't interest me.
New Super Mario Bros was the only game that was fun and playable because you don't use that ridiculous touch screen, I'm glad they didn't use some scheme where you stroke your stylus up on the screen to jump, stroke it left/right to move in that direction or some other ungodly scheme.
Zelda on DS? Another prime example "Let's just be different and call it innovative and not take into account practicality". Point your stylus where you want Link to go? I'd rather use buttons and a nub than play an action adventure game with a stylus.

Again if you want action/adventure/shooter/platformer go with the PSP. The touch screen if not practical for those types of games. The only fun game that screen was good for was Brain Age.

Ever use an IPod Touch, Samsung PS2 or an LG Venus touch screen?  The screen can be slightly unresponsive like most touch screens which isn't that big a of problem really unless you're surrounded by baddies in a fast paced action platformer/shooter game.

Here is what I mean

The left 2/3 of the screen (critical in Metroid Prime and most other games) you must buy the thumb strap and somehow playing using that. I don't remember the layout for Metroid Prime but what if jump is in the top left corner? What if roll into a ball is just under jump? "Opps I meant to slide of to jump."  Another uncomfortable stretch. Your eyes are on the top screen and you can't afford to look down when surrounded by bad guys. Those are awful stretches your thumb has to do and when playing something with any action such as a platformer or shooter you're bound to rub your thumb dry of grease and numb your nerves.

On a PSP you can feel exactly where your fingers are without looking because it uses buttons, much better for action adventure games. Also PSP buttons are located near the edge. None of this stretch your thumb across the unit till your thumb cries "Mercy" nonsense.

 What the fuck? No one play like that. I have that game. With ALL the stars. Do you know you can use the d-pad, right?

Aparently you dont have experience with how FPS works with a touchscreen, specially on the DS.

The lower DS touchscreen acst like a mini-mouse, and the d-pad acts like the AWSD keyboad keys. The left trigger is for shooting.

All the action is happening in the upper screen.

So, you aim with the stylus and move wth the d-pad, just like a keyboard and mouse. Much faster and accurate than double analogs.

Try Dementium, Metroid Prime Hunters, Brothers in Arms, Call of Duty... or coming soon Core, Moon, Duke Nukem DS, etc.

Check the video and you can see how FPS works with a stylus... is the closest to a K & M

The DS is way better to play FPS.

What the fuck?  No one plays like that.  I had that game.  Yes I know you can use the DPad.  Did you know that was some random picture I googled and judging from the text in my post was used as an example of how Metroid Prime Hunters is played...

 Hahaha okay 1 game.  In Metroid Prime Hunters and others, jump, roll and a ton of other commands floating around the sides and bottom of the touch screen.  Chances are that with your eyes on the top screen your going to slide your stylus or thumb strap over "jump" or "roll into a ball" or some other command when all you wanted was to look in that direction.

Metroid Prime is played like the Dementium video I posted. Is the closes to a keyboard and mouse.

Way better than aiming with buttons like PSP.
