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

Dan Hibiki · 05-24-2005, 01:45 PM

This will be the definitive DS vs. PSP thread, since alamgir seems to want to make his case on the merits of the PSP. I insist that if you're nothing but a fanboy to either system, you stay OUT of this topic. This will be an in-depth breakdown of both systems, by those who know it best. As such, I'll present the DS side of the argument, along with perhaps a few others, and I'll assume alamgir, and perhaps a few others on that side will present the PSP's argument.

We all know the strength of the system doesn't matter; we also know that the library of the system does. So, while we could argue back and forth on the merits of power vs. innovation (PSP and DS respectively), we should likely focus on the games.

I'll admit that the current of library of DS games compared to PSP games, the PSP has a slight edge, but in my opinion that will
soon change.

Now, I was working on this in notepad, and I had this huge, huge list of 212 games that were coming out for the system, but my notepad glitched, and deleted a bunch of them, so I'm just going to make a list of what I feel will be the hits for the system.

The likely mega-hits I'll post in bold.

Advance Wars: Dual Strike
Age of Empires: The Age of Kings
Animal Crossing DS
Black & White Creatures
Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow
ElectroPlankton
Final Fantasy III
Goldeneye: Rogue Agent
Guilty Gear Dust Strikers
Katamari Damacy
Kirby: Canvas Curse
Legend of Zelda DS
Mario & Luigi 2
Mario Kart DS
Meteos
Metroid Pinball
Metroid Prime: HUnters
Nanostray
New Super Mario Bros.
Nintendogs: Shiba & Friends (One version of game shown)
Sonic Rush
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Chaos Theory
Trace Memory
Viewtiful Joe DS

Now, before you say, "All those games are kiddy," the games are more along the lines of universal appeal. Just because the games don't have excessive violence, or foul launguage, or blood doesn't mean that the game is kiddy.

I ask that somebody for PSP's side come up with a list of supposed hits and mega-hits, with hyper-links to IGN game sites, so that we can compare.

Warmor: Link to GameStop or something else, IGN sucks =-P

Quass: Um, shouldn't he be able to link to wherever he wants without moderator influence? That being said, IGN did have superior DS coverage over E3.

Warmor: Um, he can. -_-' I wasn't using a "moderator influence" to force him to do it, and IGN wasn't to impressive, that's all.
