DS! Or not?

Okay I've got ten minutes to decide
BUY A DS WITH DRILL SPIRITS (and mario later)
or
NOT?
Any replies made to this thread will in no way influence my decision.

Haha. What a bunch of retards.

For one, DS has sold more than twice what PSP has sold in Japan, and the PSP just only barely more expensive there.

For another, more sales means more support. If the PSP were to bomb, then where are Square Enix, Konami, Capcom, Namco and Sega going to go? Nintendo DS, no doubt.

Emulators? Is that the best you can do?! Homebrewed content? Not only does it show that the best aspect of the PSP is that it bums off of everyone else's success, but there's a glaring problem - the 2.6 upgrade effectively disables pirated software, making emulation a dead concept for the PSP.

As for the other features...

Music? Okay?

Movies? No. This is the worst feature of the PSP, if only for the fact that there is no reason to have to rebuy your DVD movie collection on the PSP, for more than you paid originally, and even get less in return, in regard to extra features. As for internet, while the PSP has what the DS don't, what the PSP has is not very well designed.

Psh. "Special gamers", you say? Right. At least we're not spoon fed half truths. You'll eat anything that falls from Sony's ass just because you wish it to be true. Sony has, on three occasions, used shipped numbers and referred to them as sold numbers in order to make it seem like it is more successful than it actually is.

Anyway, some people make it seem like I listed sales figures as an indication of quality. Far from it. I listed sales figures as an indication that people who anticipated a clear cut victory for the PSP were fooling themselves. Thanks to a massive sales boost, the DS has broken two records - highest non-launch day sales in Japan and the fastest system to sell to 5,000,000. According to recent figures, they have seven million sellers, four 2,000,000 sellers and two 3,000,000 sellers, while PSP has none, but will likely have a 2,000,000 seller with LCS. This was only to prove the point that the DS is a far greater success than people anticipated.

As for the games, you must realize that Gitaroo-Man came to the states, and is far more absurd than Ouendan. I have also read that publishers have shown interest in bringing it to the states.

And embarrassing you? Right. I stated the facts objectively. Such as the fact that the DS has made quite a comeback, and initial PSP sales came from a great launch that was followed by a great game drought. I felt it needed to be reminded of to the PSP fans that the DS did better than most people expected. Most expected it to be Nintendo's swan song, some expected it to do equal or marginally better than the PSP, and few people expected it to sell nearly 12,000,000 units in a little over a year.

I love the PSP as well. I do not own one, but I play my cousin's PSP whenever he brings it along. I play Lumines, Wipeout, LCS and Popolocrois, and they are all very enjoyable. But I will not claim that it is equal or greater than the DS' game lineup just to come off as unbiased, because I am totally biased. I like the DS' games better. If this were the opposite, I assure you that the PSP would have had the same post, because the PSP would have earned its bragging rights. I admit that I want the DS to win, just to show people that the PlayStation label doesn't rule gaming like they thought it would. Even I expected a clear-cut victory from Sony, and I had low expectations for the DS both success-wise and quality-wise, and in the end, it excels in both.
