[quote name='Cornfedwb']Better? PSP... More Fun? DS[/quote]
The goal of both systems is to be fun, therefore, if the DS is more fun, it is better. I can only assume you mean the PSP will be more technologically advanced, which it may be. Sony would have to pull off some real magic to stand a chance against the DS. I hope it will be interesting to watch.

My vote goes to the DS. I'm not sure if anyone else saw this or if it was already mentioned, but on the-magicbox.com they showed the results of a poll conducted during the TGS on the PSP and DS. I thought it was kind of interesting.

Edit: The poll results are about half way down the page.

Actually, the goal of the games is to be fun.. I don't know about you, but no handheld has been a source of great fun without a game in it. The point of the system is to provide the best platform upon which fun games can be made.. and in my opinion Nintendo's gimmicky dual screen is much outweighed by the PSP's higher technology when we're talking about the level of the game that can be created. Thusly, the PSP is the better system.
However, since Nintendo has serious experience making great handheld games, and given the PSP's likely high price point will provide a small install base leading to less games made for the system.. I'm prophesizing the DS to be the more fun.

Definitely the DS! And as far as all the better vs. fun debate... Something can be more technologically advanced than anything ever made. But the fact is, unless it has good, fun games for it, all it amounts to is an expensive piece of hud. Expensive pieces of hud are not better than anything, IMO.

When I stated that the goal of both systems is to be fun, I was using your terminology ("More fun? DS"), and obviously the games are a major part of that, in addition to the possibility of music and video.
So you are saying that the PSP has more potential to be fun, but the DS will be more fun -- Better games can be created for the PSP, but they won't be? Whatever.
On a separate note, Microsoft wins the coveted best booth babes vote. Congratulations to the big M$.

I saw that too, but with the advent of the internet, I've gotten far too used to people's spelling and grammatical incompetence over the past ten years that I seldom comment anymore (although I often shudder, wince or both). And no offense is meant to anyone, it's simply a fact of modern society.

ds b/c they have dominated the handheld market for so long.
I think that it's somewhat humorous that no one who voted PSP has posted (or at least they didn't make it apparent / they made it sound like they agreed with the majority). Maybe that's just what they are hoping will happen, but cannot give a plausible reason why it could happen. Anyone? I want to know what the PSP opinions are! Post as well as vote guys/gals!

I'm not sure if I understand the question properly. Is it asking which one will be more popular or which one will actually be better? And by which one will be better, are they asking which one will have better games or which one will have better design/features.
I voted for the DS, but I may have voted for the wrong reason. I mean, the DS will be more popular, but I don't know if it will have better games, and it's definitely inferior in terms of design/features. So, what exactly are we voting for here? If it's how much we personally like them, I don't think there is enough information on the PSP to really answer that question. We don't know price, battery life, updatability, or even how many/ what games will be available and when. So, "Witch" one we think will be #1, might be a lot different a few months from now.
Anyway, I only plan on getting the DS for right now.

I voted for the PSP b/c I believe that it will have games that I find interesting as a 33 year old professional. Pokemon is not my cup of tea. The multifunctions of the PSP are more appealing to me than what the DS will offer. I have an SP and enjoy the occasional game of Metroid and Mario b/ I think that the PSP will offer more with movies, MP3 and more adult games.

DS, because of affordability. If they both had the same price....hmmmm it be a pretty close race
Simple the DS will rule the market till at least the end of 2005, then nitnendo will get side tracked with the new gameboy and sony will take over in lead in Mid to Late 2006...
I plan on getting a Ds the first day it comes out (got 4 preordered) I will wait for the PSP probally a year or so or until the price falls to 149

Do you have to ask?
DS I just want much more than the PSP. I won't get DS at launch, but will get it shortly thereafter (pretty much as soon as any of the games I want come out, since I have 0 interest in any of the launch titles).
I wish we would get more news about the DS's game releases into 2005 so I can know what to look forward to when. Furthermore, I wish Sony would announce the PSP's launch date and a possible lineup of games earlier than a month before.

DS because it makes more sense. The DS features a bunch of games that require little commitment, and can be played both very quickly and enjoyably. On a lunch break at work? Whip out the DS and draw a few lines to save Mario.
The PSP makes absolutely NO sense as a handheld. All of the games are basically console games (PS2 games), which all require a sufficient amount of time to enjoy. The goal of console games is (for the most part) to create an immersive environment. Portable games are supposed to provide a diversion while you're on the go.
Beyond that, the PSP offers little to no innovation. It just does what previous handhelds have done...better. I'm in the mood for innovation, and that's what the DS is promising.

If you buy it for the multifunctions I think you will be dissapointed. You can't burn your own movie discs, you will have to the movies you want, unless you have some big memory cards you want to put them on. Also I may be wrong, but I believe the PSP will not support mp3 but rather ATRAC (spelling?), sony's own audio format.
My vote goes for the DS for the right combo of price and features. Some of the features may turn out gimmicky but it leaves the option for a lot of creativity from developers. I believe the PSP will be around $300 (I know price is still not officially announced), and with battery life still in question and Sony ruining the extra features (music and movies) I would find it hard to spend that kind of money on a handheld. I probably won't pick up a DS til it drops in price anyways.

Not that I don't think your prediction will be right, because it probably will, but there's really nothing suggesting that PSP games will be long, drawn out console experiences. Furthermore, the GBA is the home to a huge assortment of SNES games, many of which do not make quick, enjoyable experiences. Even some original portable titles require a lot of time, such as Fire Emblem and FFTA.

Which one will be the better console? The DS, easily. It has far more creative features, a much more realistic design, and will have far more great games.
Which one will sell more? The PSP, easily. Despite being overpriced, sucking batteries like there's no tomorrow, having a second-rate interface and tons of unnecessary features that will only get in the way, and a game lineup that'll mostly be forgettable, it'll sell like hotcakes because 1) Sony is considered to be a cooler company than Nintendo, and 2) it'll feature lots of games in which you can blow people's heads off. They'll be mediocre games, but that'll be an unimportant detail, in the end.

You are 100% correct. The last time they said anything on the subject, Sony was going 100% proprietary technology, both hardware and software w/o the option of making your own discs. If they ever realize how stupid this is, they may change their tune, but that's not likely.

The DS will win.
Sony's track record with hardware scares me. I would like to see Sony's PSP come out without any hardware issues so we see a real match up. If the hardware fails that will be a big blow. Nintendo knows what and what not to do with handhelds at this point. The Game Gear and Nomad were definitely more advanced than the black and white gameboy and even the gameboy color but they were too bulky, they sucked batteries dry real quick, and they weren't practical.
Altough it's cool that the PSP will do other things...Movies, Music so on and so forth these ideas never really work. N-Gage is a prime example. Most of the time they become mediocre at each of the tasks they perform and become useless. Then you have Sony using only their media and the system price jumps from $300 to $500 just like that.
I believe that the PSP games will be good but with Sony telling developers they must meet certain battery criteria the fun may burn out way too quickly. Battery life is definitely an issue.
Sony's UMD discs seem a lot risker for hardware failure than Nintendo's choice of memory cards.
The DS will be offering something new in terms of gameplay but the full extent of that has yet to be seen as far as making a difference.
As far as games I think it will be like a regular nintendo \ sony matchup. Nintendo having mario, zelda and sony having their games. Nintendo having the younger kids games and sony having some darker titles.
Price is obviously a big concern. I will probably pick up a PSP somewhere down the road but not at $300.
All in all advantage NINTENDO.

Hey, Watson, I'm pretty sure his point is about launch prices. And the PSP may possibly be greater than many if not most console launch prices. (N64 and GCN launches = $199.)
