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.

PsP is the ONLY non-Nintendo handheld system in recent years to have any kind of third party support or to be backed by a big games company.
As a European I'll tell you one reason the DS doesn't sell too well in Europe, especially in the UK (This is as a DS only owner.)
PsP has the best Soccer game series ever made. Pro Evolution Soccer (Now up to Version 5) by Konami. If the DS had this and it resembled or even bettered the Sony versions in any way at all it'd be a mega hit. I recently did a survey out of boredom with all the Playstation talk in my school and asked every Playstation and PsP owner how many games they had and what they played most.
The results were not unexpected. (Bear in mind nearly all the owners were male)
90% of people said they currently had less than 5 games for their Playstation and usually played only 2 at most often.
The most often played by a massive distance was:
Pro Evolution Soccer 5.
Many people said that this was in fact their ONLY game, usually they had sold all the others due to lack of play.
Never say that a console cannot be carried by one game. In Europe and the UK especially. Sony's most certainly are.
What do you mean, poor? The DS has more systems sold in Europe, and in the UK, the DS is 5,000 units ahead. PSP may be pretty close in Europe, but I would certainly not give it to PSP. Nintendogs and Mario Kart DS are still selling, and I assure you that Pokémon will skyrocket sales.

DS owns, bought one and its great.
Every game I got on it, not a problem with em.
PSP = short battery life, long load times, gay remakes of games (that are basically carbon copies), Nice screen and button layout but uhm..... for what reason do you want a UMD movie?
Oh yeah, did I say remakes and carbon copied games?
The truth
PSP looks better, and is better for sports games (Sims) and 3d racing (although most of their racing = rehash of a system version)
DS is better for puzzles, action, 2d everything, online( recently) , racing (2d).
If you get DS, you won't be disappointed, especially if you have friends with a DS (even if they don't have games).
PSP is a 250$ disappointment until maybe 2 years later when they say "PSP2" and the crap actually starts to get some fun games other than Lumines

>>16 PSP Will be able to Emulate DS games eventually. There are a few games that NEED the touchscreen, but not all.
>>37 Maybe, jsut maybe, it's because the DS is the cheapest launched system in the past, oh I don't know, 10 years? If you are buying a present for your kids and it has to be next gen do you buy the $400 system? The $300 PS2, the $300 XBox, the $500 360, or the launch priced $150 DS? You get the fucking DS. Plus it keeps them holy fuck quiet in the car.

1. Assuming you never, ever update your PSP (anything past 1.5 can NOT play emulation).
2. Or maybe, just maybe, people prefer the DS. People who CAN afford the PSP don't seem to be buying Grand Theft Auto: LCS more than Mario Kart DS (650,000 non-bundle sales, 350,000 bundle sales, compared to 750,000+ for LCS), with MKDS selling more in a shorter period of time.

emulating DS games? that would be fucking retarded and would never work cause most games that use the touch screen are tight...fuck PSP
Emulate DS Games? Are you fucking retarded? The PSP hardware can barerly emulate N64 roms. The only emulator I know of that could run on the PSP is Corn ( http://home.clara.net/smiff/require/hardware.htm ) And that's the absolute minimum with compatibility including sound for only 28 games. From there on you would need 400 MHz and 64 MB ram to emulate N64 games.
You would need more to emulate DS games, so emulating DS games on the PSP is most likely out of question (unless you plan to somehow upgrade alot of the hardware).
You CAN play games on a 2.0 PSP with no problems, and a few days a go the 2.5 update was cracked and now everyone who has 2.5 can now play roms and homebrew games on the psp with no problem.

What you really mean is, it's taking one and a half years to think of something even more retarded to say!
