Which is the better handheld game now PSP or Nintendo DS?

Answer 1

The ds is better than the psp

Ten reasons why a ds is better than a psp

1) Most of the ds games are original and only released for that format - nearly all the psp games have been also released (or due to be released) on the ps2.

2) The ds is a lot more reliable - psp's are too fragile.

3) The psp is more interested in graphics than game content. Game content is much more important to me than graphics. I can spend hours playing the awesome highly addictive game Pong on my ds (one of the games on Retro Atari) which much more fun than some of them psp games. Big suprise Pong is not out on the psp.

4) The batteries on a psp dont last as long as a ds's.

5) There are too many 'add ons' on a psp that are not necassary for a games console while a ds just does what a games console is designed to do which is play games.

6) More ds consoles have been sold than psp's.

7) The ds has awesome wireless multiplayer action and only one of the players need to have the game

8) The ds has awesome touch screen technology and built in microphone which a lot of ds games take full advantage off.

9) There are more games out on a ds than a psp.

10) The ds is backward compatible for gameboy advanced games.

Answer 2

Psp has better graphics and it can be a sort of multi media player with a big enough memory stick. The version 2 or less is best as you can read games and movies off your stick, there are some great emulators out too. They both have similair wifi capabilities but psp has browser. The ds is something different and i guess more fun to play alot of the games are not really up to much but they are getting better and the best are great games. It looks like with Microsoft and sony going for best graphics, nintendo are going in a different direction I dont know if you have seen the Wii being used but it does look fun and more family orientated. You need to decide which type of handheld you want as they are both different, must admit I have both could not choose!

Answer 3

DS has more things coming out for it in the future, including a wireless compatibility with the new-generation console by Nintendo, the Wii. PSP has awsome graphics,but the game is more important than the graphics. It is not that the DS has bad graphics, the graphics is almost as good as gamecube, it is just that the PSP is better graphics.

Answer 4

One out of Ten

Battery life -
PSP 4 - DS 8

Official (not illegal) Game Library -
PSP 6 - DS 9 (if you include Gameboy games)

Graphics - PSP 9 - DS 7

Fun - Your choice, but I think a touch screen & a regular screen is better than a giant scratch screen.

Hope this helps.

Answer 5

i would say get a DS because it is way durable. the PSP tries to cram too much stuff into one handheld (aka, no battery life for anything, and too huge for an MP3 player). the DS is also much cheaper, and the touch screen is so fun to use. FOR ALL OF YOU PSP LOSERS WHO SAY THE DS IS NO COMPETITION, THEN WHY IS THE DS OUTSELLING THE PSP??????

It is estimated 3.43 million PSP units have been sold in Japan through to 2006 compared to 6.49 million by the DS, and 1.47 million by the DS Lite as of May 14th 2006.

Answer 6

They both have their pros and cons. For Nintendo the multiplayer is amazing. You play together wireless, and only one of the players have to have the game. But for the DS the graphics are not that good. The PSP is awesome too. You can play movies, music, and the regular game. Plus the Graphics are amazing.

Answer 7

Answer 10
