I pretty much hate nintendo, I don not support anything of thers, and I believe that the PSP far surpasses the NDS in Style, QUality, Games, and Satisfactorieness

I absolutely HATE Bam Margera. He has ruined the great reputations of the world, his parents, great bands, MTV, Element (thats why their kicking him), Jones Soda, and worst of all... the skateboarding community. He is a overrated, rich, poseur. I hate seeing people wear his clothes, with the heartagram and they think it means Bam... Silly little poseurs.

interesting how someone that does not support Nintendo at all joins a pokemon-themed webforum...eh?

This is one of those times where I feel like banning Brit and Sarah, but since I have a better sense of respect than that, I'll just leave them this message: What you are saying may be borderline flaming. These members were having a blissful time ignorantly thinking the DS is better, but you guys have to come in and flame them and impress your opinion upon them. At least Kenny stated respectfully that his opinions was his and he didn't want to impress it on us. Just let these people be blissfully ignorant with their supprt for the DS. All you two ever had to do was post, "I support the PSP for the following reasons:..." and then leave.

in my opinion
both have potential,
however the DS is certainly quite a shock
2 screens and using a *pen* to control what you do, and you can chat with your friends.
the competition's tough for PSP.

Brittany, you're a mod, are you being dumb or something? Mods shouldn't act the way you just did. Your setting a horrible example...do all mods act like you do?

Geez, this is dissapointing. I've been to plenty of boards, and moderators and such would never act the way YOU just did.

By the way, I think is PSP better :P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P

Heh, your barley a member here and you already know what your talking about more than Brit probably does...Ok you guys, seriously...No more ranting, flaming, attacking bashing or whatever else...geez

And frankly, I think the PSP and DS are EVEN!! I used to think DS was better, but the good and the bad simply do each other in. However, once a really good game for the DS comes out, I may have to change my mind.

Same goes for PSP with me...I mean if FF8 came out for it, I'm THERE! But if a Zelda game came out for it, I'm there as well. It's a double edged sword I'd say...BOO ya!

Tommy…maybe you should read through the thread. Do you see how I handled specific incidents and lead to topic back on course? This is called “effective modding”

A generic attack does nothing. I mean, wtf here, seriously? There haven’t been any flames, and I’ve stopped them both ways., the PSP haters and the DS haters. (And if you want to discuss this further, PM me.)

And Brittany, it doesn’t help if you accuse him like that. You’re not even the games mod. -.- Now so much as one more stupid post, and this is going to get closed. Come on here guys-I know this is a Pokmon forum, but let’s show more IQ than the average Pokmon, please.

And sorry Dakota, but I have to put a stop to all flaming, even his. Let's hope that's the last of it.

I still this is a matter of outsourcing, which is Sony's hope for the PSP. If people believe that this device can play video games, music, movies, type, use a camera better than other top-leading devices then no doubt that PSP will triumph over the DS. HOWEVER, Nintendo has offered a innovation technology to gaming. People are complaining because top-entertainment games aren't due to release on the DS. This is a new beginning for handheld technology, we went from 2-D graphics to 3-D with excellent graphics. Now Nintendo has extended this to original way of gaming, and if society wants to look past this then fine. It's their lost anyway.

A lotta Sony fans are too liberal to see it this way, but it's the truth. Inferior comparisons have been made about graphics, design, and sound. The DS offers the type of gameplay as the X-Box, PS2, GCN, and ultimately the PSP. The reverse to any of these systems is not true. Its only a matter of time before the people who've said graphics and design are top comparisons to the DS and PSP are eliminated from the existance of gaming.

If Nintendo were smart then they would have let KH: CoM on the DS. But no, it had to come out on the GBA (I think that was a bad move on the part of Nintendo).
See,Andy,Squenix started working on this just before the DS was announced.that's why.

How so? Graphics actually do influence gameplay. The DS doesn’t offer the same quality of graphics as any of the other consoles. If more power wasn’t essential, why would have Sony and Nintendo moved past the PS2 and the N64? Presentation is an important part of gameplay.

Among the improvements the PS2 and GCN had over the PSX and the N64 is the amount of data a game can store. This is also something the PSP has over the DS. Does it guarantee a better game? No. Does it give developers more to work with, and make it more appealing to develop for? Yes.

The DS does have a lot of uniqueness to it. But unless those features it has over the PSP are enough to overcome its other hurdles, it won’t do well. I’m not saying if this is true or not. I’m just saying don’t think that new ideas always work out, and produce better games.

That’s what I said, kind of. Graphics don’t necessarily make a good game. Bigger storagre space doesn’t necessarily make a good game. Touch control doesn’t necessarily make a good game. Sony doesn’t necessarily make a good game. Nintendo doesn’t necessarily make a good game.

The DS offers low-res 3D and many modes of interaction, two screens. PSP offers more powerful hardware. Both of these are appealing to different developers. Just because a game has bad graphics, doesn’t mean it’s bad. Just because a game has good graphics, it doesn’t mean there isn't more to it.

However, in gaming, consoles have been moving up in power, and it’s worked well. We could have stayed in 16-bit forever, but we would have never had the highly praised Mario 64. Or Final Fantasy 7.

I personally think portable gaming is a waste. However, I will not deny many disagree with me. What I’m saying is I wouldn’t put too much stock into EITHER of them. There are no guarantees any of the good points for either system will make it a winner.

I think that Nintendo's 'innovations' are really just novelties, but I guess only time can tell whether or not I am right.

While we're waiting... well, what is the whole thing about 'going from 2-D to 3-D with excellent graphics'? We all know that PSP has better graphics, so to argue about it seems kinda useless. If you were using it as a stand-alone point for the DS, I could see your point, but because you are also attacking the PSP in your post, it seems like you're trying to prove that it's better in this aspect, which it isn't. (correct me if you weren't attacking the PSP on this issue)

And I don't see the 'The DS offers the type of gameplay as the X-Box, PS2, GCN, and ultimately the PSP' part either. PSP offers all of the types of gameplay as those products too. The DS's strength doesn't lie within it's compatibility with the old, but rather it's new features, which may or may not be accepted in the gaming community. Some of it's attributes have potential, but only time can tell if they live up to all of the hype. We have so little to base it on with it's starting line-up of games.

I don't think we can assume anything right now. Until more titles are released and experienced, we can only consider everything that we 'know' about them speculation.(aside from the machine's specs)

Like I said in my last post, comparisions are being simply off the horsepower of both consoles. Of course PSP has better graphics, we know this from the first post of the thread. But can you play the same way you play on the DS? No, you can't, simply because the DS offers features that innovate the gaming experience.

PSP cannot offer the experience of interaction within the game such as DS. If you are buying the PSP for gameplay why not go with the DS? It offers the same gameplay plus innovative features the PSP doesn't. AS Kairi said, the gaming community is mostly 17-25 year-olds who make feeble-minded comparisions simply based off of horsepower.

Of course the DS features could be great! But producers are having a hard time making use of all the features. It'll be difficult to utilize all the features. Why? Because it's somthing we aren't used to! (What we are used to to is the PSP.)

C my point?

Some people(namely Sony fans; Example: Me) don't really like the way the DS 'innovates' our gaming experiences. It's not that we don't recognize the features- we just don't like them.

PSP cannot offer the experience of interaction within the game such as DS. If you are buying the PSP for gameplay why not go with the DS? It offers the same gameplay plus innovative features the PSP doesn't. AS Kairi said, the gaming community is mostly 17-25 year-olds who make feeble-minded comparisions simply based off of horsepower.
Like I said in the first post, some of us don't really care for those features, which just leaves our decision to the handhelds' specifications and the games that are released for both of them.

Of course the DS features could be great! But producers are having a hard time making use of all the features. It'll be difficult to utilize all the features. Why? Because it's somthing we aren't used to! (What we are used to to is the PSP.)
Well, yes it wil be different for companies to make DS games. As for the rest of your statement, it's the same idea as my first two points. XD

C my point?
Yeah, I C it. I still like PSP better :P
