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

[~Mastermax~]

I've already posted review scores VF. 10 PSP games got 8 or more out of 10 while only 1 got the same for DS

game scores are just opinions from a single person, or a group of people. certain sources are payed by large game companies such as EA or sony. that's porbably one of those sources...

Karma, i'm sure you know that everything the handhelds can do, something else we already own can do. But still people buy a DS/PSP.

what other game console and play on two screen one of which can be touched? the psp is a port of ps2, while the DS would be a computor with two moniters, one of which stolen from a hotel that you can touch. but there are no games for my old two moniter peice of crap computor with o software that has no software for the touch screen to work.

Although you might say the psp expensive. It is a console that will go far into the future. Prices are set to be lowered in summer and more good games are coming out. It''ll have updates directly from the web. Who said you need high speed internet, the internet any of us are using will do.
No one is asking you to buy any USB "things", you'll only connect to them if you have them.

how is the psp puching use ahead? as i said before the future will be for interactivity, not graphics. a psp is like what cell phones are. cell phones have not really progressed at all, they have just gotten smaller with more gimmicks thrown in. is that not what a psp is. a portable phone that has gimmicks sounds a lot like a portable playstation with useless gimmicks thrown in.

If Nintendo wanted to use 3d graphics they should have made them as good as the competition. Most of the 3d graphics in DS games look terrible. If graphics weren't an issue then why were Nintendo advertising about how they're console can play N64 graphics? If you can't make the 3d graphics look good or as good as the competition then why bother?

nintendo understands that graphics aren't everything. the DS would be incredibly expensive if it was two 128 screens, and because the screens can't be that big, 128 and 32 don't look that different at that size. the DS was designed before the psp, but they heard that sony wanted to design their own portable gaming system, so they didn't reveal it til the psp's design was set in stone. that way the DS is ahead of the psp and the psp can' be changed. sony realized their system would be blown out of the water so they added on the gimmicks to attract more of an audience. that's why the psp doesn't seem to be designed the best for all the stupid functions it has.

"The Nintendo DS is not without its problems, including some difficulty simultaneously seeing both screens clearly due to parallax -- the shifting of the view when seen from different angles -- depending on which screen you are looking at in a given moment. If looking at the top screen, the bottom screen will seem to dim in comparison, and vice versa.

why would you want to look at both screen simultaniously, i've never had a problem with it at all, if i'm in a position where boths screens can't be seen clearly, i just push the top screen further back, which it was made to do in such a case.

The stylus is far too small, especially for adults with large hands. Stubby pencils that are distributed to fill out forms at government offices are larger, thicker, and therefore much more manageable and easier to use.

i have big hands, i mean huge, being 6'3" comes with them. I never have had problems with the stylus. if i ever do i can use the attachment for my thumb that comes with the system and use my thumb.

The keys on the virtual keyboard are too small and require a high degree of accuracy when typing a message. A longer stylus would mitigate this problem.

never had that problem either

The Nintendo DS locked up completely about a minute into the PictoChat session. It gave no indication of the problem. The only method of unfreezing and recovering from the system error was to shut down and reboot the machine.

the only problem that pictochat that i have seen is it exits the chat room if yoiu flip the screen down, making it so you disappear from chat. it's supposed to help you, but in certain situations (such as a teacher walking by) it can be annoying.

In the span of an hour, three of the six Nintendo DS units froze in a similar manner while running three different applications, which suggests a firmware or hardware problem. Keep in mind that these were late pre-production models. If it is a firmware issue a software update should be able to fix the problem. If there is something wrong with the hardware, that is much more serious.

and they fixed that problem obviously if it was in preproduction, nintendo has never made a system with a problem such as that. if there was one, then nintendo would wait to release it. microsoft and sony however, didn't fix any problems until half a year later.

Finally, an ergonomic issue arises when playing games in stylus/touchscreen mode. The weight of the unit has to be supported by one hand, which leads to a sore hand after extended use. Nintendo says it will resolve the problem with a stylus that you can strap to your thumb, giving players the ability to use the stylus while holding the Nintendo DS with both hands."

that's why god gave use knees and tables...

Distract your mind from gaming? Lol/ I don't care about playlists, heck if i'm listening to a song i'm ok with that. Man you people are so lazy, all you have to do is select a song or even leave it at random, surely you won't mind that if you put the songs you like on the PSP.

you have been giving all of these explanations to fix a problem, when the problem shouldn't exist in the first place...

I take it that you all have a PC, and a USB link cable, maybe some songs too. All you have to do is connect with the USB link and upload the songs. Its not hard and it won't make you bankrupt. That's like saying you can't even be asked to put the DS's charger on, or even get the stylus out of the back.

difference between pulling the stylus out of the back of a DS and playing music on a psp.
1.reach around and grope for stylus
2. place fingers on stylus in a way to grip it
3. pull
4 awe and marve| at the ease of it.

1. buy computor
2 get music, there are no legal ways to get them for free so have fun with this step(now would be a good time to realize you can throw your psp out and play better games on your computor for free, such as enemy territory)
3. buy usb cable
4. buy 100 dollar memory stick
5. create folder on memory stick for music
6. make a simular folder on psp
7. transfer music to psp from computor
8. step back there might be flying shrapnel from such a strain on the psp
9. copy music from psp to stick
10. play music from stick using only alphabetical order.

Who gives a flip about your opinion? If you loved your old games so much go and stick with your snes or whatever you had

that is not opinion, anyone who really is a gamer knows that. somebody before said that the DS is for real gamers, while the psp is for "omg i'm a gamer becuase i watch mtv and that's a fad now, and video mods is a good show and not owned by microsoft. i see you as one of those people too. i mean dante is now sony's little bitch who they put in games he shouldn't even be in. and we all know only the first dmc was good.

And the human eye can see the difference between high and low resolution and the colours do show a big difference.

ummm no it's doesn't. why don't you see for yourself, the human eye can barely see a difference between 16 and 32, so change your computor settings between the two and try to see difference.

The current games list of PSP is much better than the DS as review scores prove. IF anything the DS games were rushed, because most of them are rubbish.

now what game that is on the psp right now, is better than wario ware touched, or feel the magic? metal gear acid? hell no, the psp is relying only on gimmicks and you know it.
