DS wins PSP loses

EVIDENCE?''Based on Enterbrain's March sales figures for the Japanese market, Japan's Mainichi newspaper reports that Nintendo sold 380,000 DS Lites during the month and 180,000 original DS handhelds. Both versions of Nintendo's portable system have been plagued by shortages--presumably the company would have done even better if its assembly lines had kept up with the strong demand. Sony tied up second place for the month, selling 150,000 PlayStation Portables and 140,000 PlayStation 2s--strong results for a console that hit the market six years ago. Mainichi did not report on Xbox 360 sales for the month. It's widely accepted that the console is having trouble gaining a foothold, and some retail sources claim that less than 50,000 have sold so far this year. Nintendo's strong performance lifted total hardware spending to 15.3 billion yen ($130 million), an increase of almost 50 percent over the total from March 2005. The DS took a strong lead in software sales: DS games claimed six of the top 10 spots. In its fifth month on the market, Animal Crossing: Wild World (DS) showed off its longevity by capturing second place and cracking 2 million units. Square Enix's Final Fantasy XII (PlayStation 2) also sold more than 2 million copies in its first month on the market. Total software sales for the month came to a whopping 38.1 billion yen ($323.7 million)--almost double the sales from March 2005. Japanese game sales have been steadily slipping for the last few years, so these strong results will be welcome news for that country's developers and publishers.''

    Hey, thats not nice! The truth hurts, though:twisted:DS wins PSP loses
DS is the more popular and more cost effective console. It is just more convienient and more widely accepted.

The PSP, while techically better in every aspect, lacks the propper game support and overall community support to boost it above nintendo. The rather large price difference turns many away, and the suppieor media players out there outshine most of what makes the PSP worth getting.

The PSP is too many things and shies away from the ''portable gaming'' mold that has been made by nintendo. Smaller or completely different games that are meant to be played on the go with good replay and good amusement factors. The PSP is slow and daunty when it comes to playing a game. It trys to hard to be a console and not a portable gaming device.

Water sucks, Gatorades better.
Now if only it could beat it in game scores here.

Won't happen. You se, the DS is made by Nintendo. This isn't a very Ninty friendly site, as far as game scores go. The PSP could have the exact same lineup and graphics and everything as the DS, and would still score at least a point higher.
PSP is the best selling gaming handheld of all time not made by nintendo.23 million+ Sold.Outsold the Sega Game Gear in its first year.PSP has a better average game score on every site on the internet. PSP has overall better games. This is fact.PSP has over 140+ games coming out in 2007.MGS PO alone pwns everything on the ds.The war is far from over, PSP still has tons of time to catch up and beat the ds in hardware sales.

PSP IS PWND LOFL




This reminds me of Atari Lynx fanboys 15+ years ago crying about the gameboy and how their system was better in every way.

... waiting
It's really not fair for the psp, the DS has to be one of nintendo's best selling handheld ever...
DS wins because it actually has good games coming out for it all the time. Any game for PSP that even looks semi decent is a port from ps2 or a remake of a port or something like that.
PS3 is the new PSP



Wii is the new DS

Did you have to put a poll on there? It's pretty obvious that the DS > PSP.
