PSP and DS screen comparison

[quote name='6669']DS has 2, PSP has 1. There's your comparison :)[/quote]

I think the PSP's 1 screen is about as big as both of the DS's screens combined.

EDIT: BTW, to everyone that thinks having a map on a screen at all times is cool, play Super Mario Kart.
 
:p :p :p :p :p :p :p i'm still in colleage , hoping one day i'll be working with Microsoft or Sony someday....
btw, PSP will kill DS :twisted: and that is a good thing for all of Nintendo fanboy. Why is it good for Nintendo fanboy? hehe you'll see the Next Gameboy maybe in a year, if Nintendo not BS about support 2 handhelds at the same time . I hate Nintendo for milking people. :twisted: just my thought ....
 
Nintendo's main thing is gaming. Who cares if they're doing two handhelds?

Sony does a bunch of other electronics (dvd players, cd players, etc...)

Microsoft well...just look at the OS you're using.

Yea cuz Sony and Microsoft aren't looking for any profit what-so-ever. :roll:
 
Yesh but Microsoft and Sony didn't bring out 10-14 years ago and sell it for 20 or 30 bucks.... plz don't tell me about Mario DS is not port. After i finish Mario DS ( with 150 stars ) I don't see the point of having extra charaters or new ability. Anyhow, just my thought....
 
I won't be buying a PSP untill at least 1 game comes out that I want. and As it stands I won't be getting one untill 2007 when they release the 4th Final Fantasy 7 sequal for it.
 
Yeah, the PSP is gonna kill the DS. Or at least, for those 2 hours that you can play it before recharging. Those 2 hours are gonna rule! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: Oh yeah and ESPECIALLY when the PSP screen gets scratched, THAT'LL show Nintendo fanboy! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: OMG and don't get me started about half of the PSP lineup, and how original they are!!!!! But omg half of them are PS2 ports :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

God I seriously hope your parents aren't paying too much for that "colleage" education. Here's to hoping one day you'll graduate someday.

Well like you said, if we wanted unbiased news and info we could always just use gogle.com or as hip and in crowd refers to it as: google.com

I don't mind updates on products, but your view is so transparently one sided that it makes me want use a PSP as a butt plug.
 
Honestly, I've been kinda bored with my DS lately. Granted I only have Super Mario 64 DS, I'm just not as thrilled with the system like I thought I'd be. The DS' launch lineup has been very weak, IMO. On paper, I thought it would be pretty good.

We had some pretty good franchises to pick from, but judging from most of the reviews, most games are very subpar.

I believe the DS fell victim to the infamous bad launch lineup virus. Most systems that come out don't have good launch lineups, and I'm sorry to say the DS is certainly one of them.

With that said, I think the DS will rebound very quickly by having some real quality games out in the next few months.

The problem I see with this is that the PSP will also be releasing soon, too. If the PSP can somehow manage to launch with some very good games, Sony has a helluva chance to steal Nintendo's momentum.

I'm afraid the DS could be labeled as a kiddie machine, much like the Gamecube, N64 and the original Gameboy Advance were and the PSP looked on as the adult handheld.

If this happens, older gamers may shy away from the system and opt for the PSP so they can play their Metal Gears, Tekkens and GTAs.

This could have a domino effect for Nintendo. Less people begin to buy the DS and its third-party software. Then we'll see Nintendo's third-party well begin to dry up.

I can really see a pattern begin to develop with Nintendo's platforms. I hope Nintendo can somehow get rid of the kiddie image, but I'm not sure if they really want to.

Nintendo's secret weapon may be online gaming with the DS. If they can somehow blow gamer's pants off with a kickass online experience, it will help sell systems like Chinese midget in Mexico.

Sorry for the long-winded rant.

HAHAHA

Truely an idoit.

A game company has to make money from their products. You support one that addmited to have made the PS2 wrong to make people return them and charge them.

Nintendo is milking the people.... hahaha dumbasses..... got to love them.
 
The DS doesn't appeal to me at all. Using the stylus to point at the enemies to aim and shoot in Metroid is stupid IMO. If the DS isn't backward compatible, it would be the next Virtual Boy. Let's hope Nintendo will come out with a really good and innovative Zelda fast.

I'd refrain from calling other people "idoits" until you tightened up your spelling, bud.

That's only one of several different control methods you can use in Metroid. They're just giving people several different ways of controlling Samus.

alright u need to quit using all those damn smileys. one or two is fine, and occasionally u could use a whole bunch to prove a point.

I don't think he's actually in college. I mean, even the dumbest person I've met in school was lightyears ahead of this guy.
 
I'm going to buy either the DS or the PSP, I like the way PSP looks, but battery life worries me... But I've been looking at the announced games for both. The only thing on PSP that excites me is the Nippon Ichi RPG that's coming out later. DS already has a new Lunar and Grandia announced, and new Secret of Mana. DS, for me, is winning in the games department right now. Not that they'll definitely have more and better games, but right now, theres more games I want coming for the DS than there are for PSP. Luckily there is time before I have to make a decision.
 
I'll make my decision between the two systems after about 6-12 months when each has had the opportunity to release their first wave of AAA titles.
 
wow, from a completely unbiased gamer(i won't be getting neither), the psp LOOKS so much better than the DS, psp is definally geared toward adults, with that cool design, chain, and leather case, while DS is like a very cool gimmick for children.

If i had to buy one, ill definally buy the psp, simply because:
1) i need a mp3 player
2) i rarely plays more than 3 hour a day, especially for a handhold -_-
3) psp = dominating the rpg genere.
 
3) psp = dominating the rpg genere.

I haven't decided which one I want, but I take exception to that. Exactly how is PSP "dominating" the RPG genre, and with what titles? If one were dominating in the RPG category, it would make it much easier to make a decision. But DS already has a lot of great RPG's announced, PSP has a Nippon Ichi RPG that'll be pretty good, but not much else that I saw of note. No one is dominating anything yet.

Here's the 7 RPG that IGN has coming out for PSP:

Gagharv Trilogy
YS VI - The Ark of Napishtim
Level-5: New RPG
Tales of Eternia
PoPoLoCrois Monogatari: Pietro Ouji no Bouken
Generation of Chaos: Shin Tenmakai(Strategy RPG)
Makkai Wars(Strategy RPG)

http://psp.ign.com/games/?constraint.grid.genre1=RPG&x=23&y=13
 
Anyway, the screens on both are pretty good.

The PSP screen seems perfectly suited to playing movies As soon as I get the system and a really big MSDUO I'm going to start encodeing videos for it.

The DS screen while seeming darker is still very bright and capable. I'm not going to be watching movies or a whole mess of full motion video but it will do just fine for any number of games.

Gagharv Trilogy - a port of an old PC/PS/Saturn series, its a good series and I don't knock it for being a port, or old, but it won't come to the US. IGN's preview says, "this will still be one of the lesser RPGs for the portable, and will likely not see a US release"

Ys VI - Its already coming out for PS2. This is one of those games that'll be on both platforms and have an inferior PSP version. Do we really want that? Since I have a PS2, I can play it either way.

Level-5: New RPG - This has potential, its from the makers of Dark Cloud and Dragon Quest/Warrior, but will be an original game. This will take a while though because they just wrapped up Dragon Quest 8.

Tales of Eternia - I think it'll be good, but its a port of a ps1 game. Could potentially look dated, but I doubt it.

PoPoLoCrois Monogatari - This is an early PS2 RPG that never made it here. I don't think it'll make it here on PSP either, which is a shame.

Generation of Chaos - There are 4 Generation of Chaos games on the PS2, none of them made it here, which is another shame. Don't think it'll make it here on PSP either.

Makkai Wars - This is Nippon Ichi's game and this'll be good. It's already been announced that its coming here.


I don't see PSP being deficient in RPG's but I don't see it being dominant either. DS will certainly have a plethora of RPG's, from their SNES titles if nothing else.

Don't forget FFIII, that's also been anounced for the DS
 
The one thing I've never understood is why Nintendo fanboys say the PSP titles are all ports. Are not the DS titles are ports so far as well?

Oh, and I wouldn't be so quick to say the PSP has RPG's locked (all it could be that way in the future). Let us not be quick to forget that Namco announced a Xenosaga and Baten Kaitos game for DS...
 
Sounds like they'll both have a lot of RPG's, that'll be great. Makes it even harder for me to decide which one I want though. DS sounds like it has more already, with games like Lunar, Grandia, FF3 (the real ff3), Secret of Mana, Xenosaga, Baiten Kaitos, Harvest Moon, Shin Megami Tensei DS, Vandal Hearts, Tengai Makyo, Spectral Force, Zelda DS... Wow, that is a ton of titles, more than I thought. But you have to remember, DS is further along in its development cycle than the PSP, so don't jump the gun and declare one the winner on the RPG front just yet.

Also, I believe that a lot of those RPG's haven't had release dates attached to them yet. So, you could be waiting a while for them to even reach the system. That's the only bad thing about announcements for games, they could be released soon, they might be years away. Hopefully they come sooner, but I wouldn't bet on it.

And the DS has:

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles
Final Fantasy 3
Xenosaga
Baten Kaitos
Boktai
Harvest Moon
Mega Man Battle Network
Pokemon Pearl/Diamond
Egg Monster Hero
Vandal Hearts

Not to mention untitled projects from GameArts, Namco, Marvelous, and a few other studios. Looks like the DS's RPG list is a bit longer than the PSP's, so it's kinda hard to say the PSP is dominating the RPG genre.

Thats true for both systems... I'm not trying to take one side over the other, I'm undecided right now. I think they'll both have plenty of good things. There are a lot more things on the horizon for DS, but DS is further along, PSP won't even be here until March, so its not yet a fair comparison.

Found some more PSP RPG's courtesy of gamespot:

Crisis Core - Final Fantasy VII
The Gaghary
Kings Field
Persona
Princess Crown
Tenchi no Mon

I don't really think Boktai is an RPG, more of an action-adventure game.
