The DS got a 3.7 for library? Its got so many games, how is that possible? I mean, its got your traditional platformers and RPGs, but also crazy shit like Elektroplankton and stuff like the Korg DS-10 (which I suppose technically isn't even a game lol). It's really a landslide victory in favor of teh DS> The PSP has some great stuff, but the DS just has so much more.

The only arguable advantage the PSP has in this area over the DS is games like Resistance: Retribution and Syphon Filter - shooters that aren't all that good because of the controls.

I suppose for my personal tastes the game library argument boils down to Pokemon and Prof. Layton vs Patapon. All three are amazing franchises, but its clear which side wins lol.

Wait what? Shooter controls are better on DS... if you play any FPS on DS and play it on PSP, Ds destroys it, and same for TPS games though there are few of those on DS for some reason.

The controls may be better, but the PSP has much better games in the shooter genre.

I can't believe I forgot fighting games as well. PSP takes that too.

The PSP has, lately, been in quite a gaming drought, while the DS has managed to release quite a string of core critical hits, such as Order of Ecclesia and Chinatown Wars, as well as a plethora of Japanese related content that the PSP has yet to, and never will see. Yet, you claim that you have not only been dissatisfied, but UNHAPPY with the releases on the DS, while AT THE SAME TIME saying you are completely happy with your recent PSP purchases, despite the afformentioned draught.

Are you kidding here Zen? The PSP has had so many great games released so far, that I have neither the money or time to play them.

I can never find the thread I need when I want them.

About 5 months ago, a large thread cycled around here, from a PSP owner, claiming the console was indeed in the midst of a gaming draught, and virtually every PSP owner agreed with in. In fact, the gamespot NEW release screenshot for the PSP became sort of an iconic symbol of that thread(there were only about 20 officially announced new releases for the console, verses 160 for the DS), that followed it long after it had actually died.

That said, I can't search my posting history, so suffice it to say, I was basing those comments off the general concensus of virtually all of the big PSP fans on this forum, and that thread, not my own opinion.

Now, the PSP does have a great library, THUS FAR, but since the release of the GoW and CC games, the console has been lax in blockbuster releases, and has been dubbed by many here and in that other famous unmentionable gaming forum as a console in a "gaming draught."

I thought it was generally accepted enough for me to reference it, maybe it isn't. Let's just call it "my opinion" since we can't be bothered to fact check me.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

Played CoD4, CoDW@W, or Metroid Prime Hunters?

Singleplayer Moon is also better then any PSP FPS :\

Seriously PSP doesn't compete FPS wise, but like I said TPS wise PSP wins because of library in that genre alone.

I've bought over a dozen PSP games since CC and GOW released last march.

There are three or four games that I want to buy that have released this year, but I can not at the moment.

While it may not have blockbusters, and I really can't think of a DS blockbuster that has released lately, it has had a very nice stream of games coming.

I've played Hunters, but not the COD on DS. I thought Hunters controlled terribly to be honest. I put it down after a few trys and frustration.

And I don't believe the DS shooters are any higher acclaimed than the PSP ones.
