DS vs. PSP

[Brittany]

Brittany, these features haven't been confirmed. You can just infer that since the PSP has a USB cord that these capabilites will be made available for it, but we haven't heard anything from any other third parties.

Thanks, I'm not that remarkable though XD

But yes, those features have been confirmed. You don't need a third party, just the official website XD

Are we looking at the same post? You did say you thought PSP's features were better. What might those include that the DS doesn't offer? And then you said the DS' innovative activities were useless in your opinion. This is how I picture the PSP. Like pitochat for example, a messenger on the DS. Does PSP offer that?

Excuse me, but I have the right to think GPS, cameras, and physical keyboards beats 2 screens, a touch screen, and pictochat.

Saying that we have differing opinions is one thing, but to completely disregard it is another.

And think about it. A camera and keyboard. PSP might be able to handle a messanging service that sends real pictures, not hand-drawn ones, and type out messages too.

2 screens, and a touch screen. Does PSP offer this? SO lets see I'm going to be paying double the DS, for just a music and movie player. That sounds about right doesn't it?

Nope, that doesn't sound about right. PSP is less than $40 more than DS. Have a nice day XD

Guess What?A GPS and A camera on the PSP will probably cost you I dont know,80$ each?

IMO, batting around facts hasn't really helped us. I can't tell you how much a UMD holds. Or what it means. Or how fast the DS is. Or even what type of memory it uses. But neither can the vast majority of people who buy these things. People are becoming more aware, yes…but still the majority of sales are going to come from people who don't know this stuff. And with their purchases, they'll decide how well these two do.

There are lots of reasons. I bought a GCN because I had a positive experience with Nintendo consoles in the past. I bought a PS2, however, because of Squaresoft. I bought the PS2 only because it has exclusive titles from Square. So past experience and license are two motivators.

I bought my Xbox and Dreamcast by recommendations from friends. Positive buzz is yet another reason people buy these things. But (with the exception of the Xbox, who makes its power part of its advertising push) how able these consoles were, really. So yeah, it's nice to have more space and power to work with, but those alone won't decide it.

Yeah, it's good to have the facts. More informed consumers are definitely a good thing. And you've very skilled at bringing those to us, Brittany. ^_^ But it's just one part of the discussion, I feel.

billy...please don't taunt with what you call her in your quote, and settle your tone down a little. We do not need flames. And Brit, don't start anything back. You know better, right?

I'm really not that remarkable! *blushes* XD

And I wouldn't assume the worst just yet. We thought PSP was gonna be $250-400, so who is to say that they won't do the same? And even if we were to assume the worst, I think $80 would include both of them XD

EDIT:

And Brit, don't start anything back. You know better, right?

Oops :P
I guess my post wasn't that bad, was it?

 

[Carlito-san]

Well,Sorry.But I think the DS will be better.*Leaves*

 

[Kairi]

Nah, you guys are mostly fine really. ^_^ And I think most everyone in this threads thinks one or the other is better, and this won't change it. XP It's all in good fun to discuss it though.

Although I was REALLY looking forward to it, I was dissapointed in the DS. I mean, I think the system has a ridiculous amount of potential, but whats with the opening games? The games are great, but none of them are KILLERS...

Although I was kinda mad nintendo with their opening titles, I'm even less impressed by PSP's opening titles...frankly I don't see myself buying either one. But if I had the money, I'd go with DS.

 

[Lucifer.]

Well the GBA's line-up wasn't exactly mind-blowing. Mario Advance and F-Zero were all I was interested in.

I'll only be buying Mario 64 for the DS. Until something else arrives of course.

 

[Neo-Dragon]

I already have a DS, and doubt i will buy a PSP.
The DS is awesome, the touch screen is the best.....

 

[Carlito-san]

Dakota,the DS's BIG titles are being saved for the
PSP launch.Acually,the same Week.I Really Recommend it.

I think your right, MP hunters and all...

D0000D! If they made a Melee or Zelda game for the DS, I would buy one in a SECOND!

 

[Carlito-san]

Zelda:Confirmed as a FS title/And I THINK they confirmed a Adventure similar to OOT/MM
Melee:I highly think so.(it would make nintendo ALOT of money.XD)

 

[Kairi]

I do believe (not sure) the main force behind Melee has left Nintendo since then. So it might be possible, but I haven't heard much. Besides…wouldn't that be a bit odd on the DS? Yes, wireless, but touch control just doesn't have enough variety in inputs for a fighting game.

 

[Poke]

In the end, we will see who wins...... whoever wins will so which one is more popular. Graphics or features. Thiis handheld war will be big but when we see who wins (features or graphics) both handhelds will use it and then we might see who will win in the long run.

I agree,but it is not really gonna take advantage of the TS.Just the graphics/Handheldness.

 

[John Denver]

Not EVERY game needs to use the touch screen, I'd play smash without it

So would I.But i hope they would add new Characters/items.

 

[Kairi]

Hasn't every game so far used it in one way or the other?

Still, this raises a good point. This is a game that--even though it never would be--could be done better on the PSP. It's a game that's fun without the touch/dual screens. But with more space for more characters and better graphics on the PSP, it would be better on it.

I'm not saying the PSP is better period, but I'm saying…you can see where its supporters do have some merit, yeah?

I agree.But Nintendo,with they um,crazy minds(in a good way)Will figure out a way to implement it.
