There's actually 6 on the PSP's sidei f you count the (Japan only) Itadaki Street port with the FF characters tossed in.

Damn... it was too good to be true, to make this ridiulous war full of nonsense turn into a truce.

And again for the record I love my PSP as well my DS  Criticizing from my side has "nothing" to do with hate.

WTF? 3-6 hours? What were you doing hacking your psp running the interent, music, and game at the same time or something? The average is 6-7 hours. Lite psp will probably have an average of 12-13 hours with the new battery, and the ds lite lasts an average of 9 hours.

what is wrong with you?  did even 1 person say in this thread that PSP had bad games?  I heard about 3 or 4 people say PSP had better games than DS, and then i heard people say that was an opinion.  I never heard a single person say DS had better games than PSP.  Where's the hate?  People saying DS is gonna outsell PSP, they must be real fucking geniuses to figure that one out. 

The PSP 'hype' died down because Nintendo changed the rules of the game. While Sony went targeted itself at the game/gadget market, Nintendo went for the non-gamers. And their name has been synonymously with hand held gaming since the GameBoy launched with Tetris as the pack-in.

I'll give full props to Sony for being the biggest and best threat Nintendo has ever faced. And the PSP is certainly not dead. But it will never catch up and will see its sales slow down over the next couple of years until a true successor comes out.

 Yes, I would rather play Dragon Quest IX (a full main-series game) than Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII (a spinoff game in a tired compilation).

However, I would like to play both ;P

People are entitled to like what they choose, but don't mistake objective observation for hate.

The PSP is not doing well. Major developers are now more than ever steering clear of it like the plague. It's hardware sales are impressive as a second place runner but its software sales are abysmal in contrast and after the debacle of the PSP2000 overhaul, people are more than entitled to their skepticism of the handheld's future. The UMD is also nothing to fawn over either, talk to any retailer at a used game store and you'll hear their share of the horror stories of the pitifully short life of UMD cartridges. Good for you that yours aren't falling apart, but the fact any are, and in the numbers they are, is not something easily ignored.

If you like it, good for you. If you don't, good for you. If you own both handhelds, then wow, let me shake your hand. But let's not spin the presentation of inarguable facts into accusations of hate speech m'kay?

Well, as you can tell, I focused on the hardware. The fact that is has some precent of the market alone gives it some credit. Thee other thing is of course the DS will win in terms of sorfware sold. More DSs vs PSPs. Of course, if your talking about # of gamers per system, then your argument makes perfect sences. I think for Sony, market shares matters more. for Nintendo, agmes sales. While Nintendo wanted to do better with the cube, they still made the most money, becuase they could sell their hardware. Sorr, I guess I'm rammbeling a bit.

Andd you did make a good point, even if I was trying to butcher it.

All hype has a short life span, but the PSP and DS will both live long and prosper. The systems are very, very different beasts, offer very different experiences, and have very different price-points ($129 vs. $169), so they really don't compete directly in the way that the Gamecube/Xbox/PS2 once did.

The DS has stylus control, the handy double screen, a compact design and terrific games. The PSP has an impressive screen and an astounding amount of horsepower under the hood, wifi and media playback, plus terrific games. One is more of a pure gaming device, the other more of a mobile media device.

Is this kber?  If so this is one of the most objective posts i've ever seen from him, nice one.
