PSP has no software.

Ds and Wii.

Id go with the PSP, and I think my opinion would be a good one to trust considering I own a dsi and a PSP 3000.

I'm going to say Wii & DS. However, even though the Wii is getting a lot of good games this year, some genres are still under represented on the Wii. What genres of video games in particular do you like?



I LIKE REDMOON ONLINE. IT'S TEH MOST AWESOMEST MMORPG. RUNESCAPE HAS NOTHING ON IT. ;) My full Videogame collection (Well, not really that full): http://www.backloggery.com/marktheshark I'LL COOL YOUR ANGER WITH AN ICE SPIRIT BLAST!!!!111111!!!!!!111!!!!1!!!

But leo-j, it's not just PSP vs. DS, it's PSP vs. DS AND Wii! Which one of the three is best may be a matter of opinion or preferred genres, but any two vs. one is no contest.

Yes it is, if someone finds the games more interesting on one platform than the other two.

... unless the multimedia functions of the PSP are really compelling for the OP.

How many genres are really truly underrepresented across ALL of DS, Wii, Gamecube and (I presume) GBA, versus only PSP?  Unless he just hates Nintendo games, which he doesn't going by his lists in the OP. 

Let me repeat that:  HE HAS LISTS OF GAMES FOR ALL THREE SYSTEMS that he's interested in. 

If you want to just take issue with what I said as a general statement (as opposed to just for the OP), then I will concede that PSP might be better than DS+Wii+BC IF you hate Nintendo games and only want certain genres.

All the genres Wii/GCN doesnt have Im sure his PS2/PS3 can cover up.

DS again list is massive there is a great game for all genres on that handheld. Its isane.

PSP is worth a purchase down the road for now DS/Wii best combo especially since he already own PS2/PS3

I love my Wii/DS/PS2 combo. XD

Well then he should ask those that have a PSP(that actually use it, not those that havent bought a game for more than a year) as well as a nintendo Wii and a nintendo DS.

I fit that category.
