A recent Survey in the latest issue of the japanese magazine Otonafami put the PSP againest DS. The survey asked over 1,000 gamers above the age of 20 about both handhelds. Out of some of the question highlighted the ones that surprised me was if they thought they taking full advantage of their machine. PSP owners said "No", Because they can't figure out how to use all those niffty features sony threw in their to try and boost sales, Ironic! Gamers also viewed the PSP as a multimedia device more a gaming machine. Ds owners also said saying that they don't get to use the Wi-Fi (Which Nintendo is currently working on from what i've read). What did they think of their handhelds? "PSP owners were asked what they thought about their handheld, they praised its fantastic graphics and entertainment functions and commented that they found its battery life surprisingly long. The main PSP complaints were that its games were mediocre, its game library had too many ports, its load times were too long, and that some games froze often." and "DS owners said they enjoy its backward compatibility to GBA games and touching the handheld's screen. On the other hand, they also said that the audio in DS games isn't loud enough, there aren't titles for adults, and the screen sizes are too small. " When looking at the two handhelds in terms of sales figures, the Nintendo DS has sold approximately 2.2 million units in Japan since its launch on December 2, versus the PSP's 1.39 million units since it went on sale 10 days later. The top-selling games for the two machines in Japan are listed below.

In my opinion, I like the PSP a bit better. Mainly because of all-in-one thing it has going. The DS touch screen is pretty cool, but it wasn't played to my personal fancy as much as I liked. It seemed that games either relied too much on it or not at all. =(Then again, the PSP does have the problem of a flimsy game line-up. Dynasty Warriors, Armored Core, and a few other games sold me to the PSP. Mainly DW...and yeah, I know all the games are the same. They're still fun though. =PThe DS, however, may sell me on the fact of my Nintendo loyalty. I bought a Gamecube for the sole purpose of playing Mario Party, Super Smash Bros, and Zelda. I'll probably get the Revolution for the same reason...even if I don't agree with the controller concept. Heh, I may even get into DDR because of the Mario DDR game that's coming out soon. =P
