The nintendo ds vs. sony's psp - Objective arguments only

[alamgir]

It sucks? Have you played the game. I think its great and so do review scores.

why would you want to sit at home right next to your computor and surf the internet with your psp, which can't be that easy because it only has a analog stick, when you could just use the fliping computor your psp is attached to?

You don't need to sit next to your pc. You can go anywhere within range of a hotspot...

Anyway GC and N64 are different? They're both consoles 1 has a more advanced engine people bought the GC because of that.

I really can't be asked to argue with you guys no more. So i'll tell you I think the PSP's better than the DS. You think The DS is better than the PSP. Both of us buy consoles for fun. If we're having fun then a console has done its job, enough said.

of course the n64 and gamecube are different, they are years apart. thats like saying, you would rather play a dreamcast then a genesis, because the graphics are better. NO! we get better consoles because times change and the gaming industry developes. the DS is pushing it into the future with more interactivity, the psp is pushing it backward. with adding only gimmicks and other useless poop. the psp is just a port of the ps2 with gimmicks and problems. the DS is something brand new with innovation. the portable gaming industry was invented on innovation, and should continue with it.


what do you see the future as?
video games that are so realistic that you think that your TV is just another real setting. no, it will be video games that you are apart of, games that you interact with everything and it reacts back to you.

Thats my point the difference between the Gamecube and N64 is the graphics. It was more powerful so people started buying it.

The PSP a port od of PS2 games? The DS isn't? Mario Kart DS? f Crystal Chronicles? Super Mario 64? You are mistaken, the PSP and DS both have versions of older games but they both have new ones.

As for innovation. 2 screens and a stylus. Wow, you get an extra screen for the function of mosts game's start button aka a map. i'd rather have 1 big screen with a clear view and great graphics, then 2 small rather pixelated (as far as 3d games are concerned) screens.

As for the touch screen. You get a stylus to control ordinary games? I'll take an analog stick to it any day. The games meant for the analog stick aren't exactly great either. I mean come on, a dating sim where you tickle girls with a stylus...Not interested.

[~Mastermax~]

the psp was made for ports, the DS wasn't, sure it has ports, but that's not why it was made.
and obviously you haven't even played a DS ever, because feel the magic is niether a dating sim, nor is there a point were you tickle somebody.

[alamgir]

I have played a DS and although I haven't played Feel the magic i've seen footage where you use the stylus on people.

[~Mastermax~]

i own feel the magic, and there is no game where you tickle anyone. you can feel on the host girl, but she gets pissed, even though she let you put her in a bunny costume, or even naked. is this a kiddy game?

[alamgir]

Did I say it was? Not like you can see much with its dodgy visuals anyway.

Who cares about graphics? I care. IF we no one cares about graphics then why did why buy the DS? Why aren't we playing on GBA's, or N64's instead of

Gamecubes? IF graphics weren't an issue than why are Nintendo making 3d games for the DS?

Because it's something that comes along naturally with time and advances in graphics modeling? But to judge a game or system soley by it's graphics, that's

retarded. That's like judging how good a book is by the font they use.

You can download firmware updates straight off the internet for new software. You can upload music, videos etc.

I already explained why music AND videos are a terrible idea. PSP wants to be a jack of all trades but only is good at one.

Some people might like the idea. But the main thing about the UMD is that it holds the games. 1.8gb of data can be stored allowing bigger and better

games as more content can be stored.

Games?

Let me tell you something about the games. They suck. They pop out, they scratch, and they skip. None of Nintendo's cartrages do that. Disks scratch. That's

the way of life. For the PSP to do such a thing with a PORTABLE device, where scratches and falls and breaks are abundant is foolish and overamibious.

Does the nintendo cartages do this?

http://nfg.2y.net/games/PSP/psp_flying.swf

Where do the get scratced? Right fliping here:

I can tell you I am quite happy with the mp3 playback on my PSP. I enjoy listening to music, what does intuition have to do with anything. Man I wonder if

the DS had all this functionality what you would be saying. None of it is neccessary for a games machine but what harm is done with these extra

features.

Wonder if? Wonder if? Let's look at the fliping facts:

DS doesn't have any of this over priced, expencive, slapped on bullpoop hardware that just trys to destract your mind from their bullpoop games.

It doesn't have playlists.
It only plays from alphebetical order.
It's hard to reach such a state.


I'd rather cut the bullpoop and just buy an ipod.

Err well you can communicate with psp, in fact I even know how to actually video chat with it, which is more than I can say for the DS. Oh yeah I guess thats

another thing the apparently usless USB connectivity can offer. You can also surf the internet with the PSP and download a variety of things. Can the DS do

that? No.

To do that you need:

1) High speed internet access
2) A video camera
3) A fliping chord
4) Someone on the other side to do the same thing
5) Pay for everything.

Yes, this is a brilliant idea! High up the fliping prices, adding useless hardware that doesn't even work, and iwll make you buy a whole gangload worth of

iquipment in order to get your stupid picture to your stupid friend.

If I wanted to video chat with someone, I would go to their house and talk to them. See, I actually have friends, who don't need to see me through

some camera because they live across the country and I found them in an online chat room. If I wanted to tell them "hey, lets's play", all I need is a

fliping phone, or a chat system. Both of those which the PSP doesn't have. One of those which the DS does have.

Why would a video camera chat thing that costs like 5 billion dollars be usefull? You don't need to see my stupid face for me to say "Hey, let's play!" nor

do I need to see their stupid face for them to tell me the same.

This is supposed to be portable, not a fliping desktop machine where I need to carry like 30 accessories just to do whatever bullpoop thing I need to do.

Likewise you can also sit at home , turn your games console on and play games with friends there on a big screen with surround sound too. So why buy a DS or

a PSP especially with DS's two smaller more pixelated screens which don't even look capable of 3d games most of the time?

In my opinion the games for PSP are better than the games than the games on the DS, review scores also prove this.

YOU HAVNT EVEN GIVEN AND REVIEW SCORES.

Once you do that, then you can spread your fan boy propeganda and impotent suckling on the oppiniated tit of the reviewer.


Second, Nintendo has always made portable devices. Key word portable. Not one of these machines like the PSP which raelly has only one portable use, and the

others need some chords or huge machine connected to them to work.

When, you kind of have a digital camera in your house. You take a picture, transfer it to your psp using that "useless" USB connectivity and use wifi to send

it to a friend.

Or you can not have to buy all that bullpoop, go through all that bullpoop just to do a simple bullpoop opperation like sending a fliping picture to some

random fliping person you met on the fliping internet.

Price isn't really an issue here for me. The DS is a weaker console. The PSP costs more but does more.

Well maybe for you, but we don't have $500 to spend on 10 games. We don't have a quarter of a grand on a "portable" gaming device.

I'm sorry but when I play games i'd usually rather drive a car then a cart, shoot, stab, punch, kick or blow up an enemy then jump on them and save the world from a nuclear holocaust then save a princess who gets kidnapped a lot. The games in my opinion are better.

Who gives a flip about your oppinion? Anyone who says the games of now are better than the games of old ARN'T REAL GAMERS.

The screen of the PSP is much bigger and brighter than any of the nintendo ds's screens. I'd rather see 16.77 million colours than 260 000

So? The human eve can only distinguish 32 bit color, which is 260,000 colors. Anything else is just fliping bullpoop..

I just think the PSP's better than the DS simply because it offers more and mainly because I like the games list.

A game list which 1) Most of them arn't out yet. 2) Most of them have problems. 3) They have gotten bad ratigns because of their cheap, rushed designs and gameplay.


Here's a comic I made which basically sums up everything I have to say:



Oh, and I guess I shoudl tell you that it has obcene language and images.

[Dan Hibiki]

You're also forgetting that the PSP as a portable device really, really sucks, as it only has a 2 1/2 to 3 hour battery life for most of the features you've mentioned, including game play.

[Shingko]

bringing back the issue about graphics, you guys keep saying graphics don't matter but you forget there are kids, kids younger then us that probably get amused with pretty colours and how cool there fave hero looks like very easily. i should know, i don't know much about video games (the last one i bought was when the N64 came out), but when i finally bought a psp i was "overcomed" on how it looks. and virtual fighter, i hope that you intensionily made that comic incorrect, cause it is wrong.

oh after reading your posts, alamgir and all the stuff it does.......i didn't even know that!!!! can you tell me or show a tutorial on how to do those things?

and Dan Hibiki, who said it has 3 hours of battery it was 6 hours and 41 mins
