PSP or NDS

I thought this debate had finished.

 

The NDS has more kid friendly games and the touch screen is a nice addition to the whole experience... I prefer the NDS...

 

psp has homebrew, can use several emulators and have more customizing options than NDS.
i do like the DS touchscreen, but my vote is PSP

 

PSP because it has custom firmware and much better games.

 

I like the DS mostly because the PSP lack good games(atleast that is my opinion)

 

i've got both and there both good, but in different ways.
The psp can play PS1 games, which is a huge good point. However, the only really good games on the psp is games from the ps1, the psp games are mostly sport or wrestling, there not varied enough. the graphics and sound are superior to the ds too. however, the psp, recently, has had NO good games come out on it, there all sport games, and still rare. the only decent one out recently was FF: CC and that was a year ago now... However, with the custom firmwares, the psp can play many different consoles games.
The DS has lots of varied games, although not enough games for older people (it has some, like Resident Evil, but not many) the touch screen is great, The graphics are good, but not as good as the psp. the games are fun usualy, although a lot can be very dull. The DS has a lot more games on it than the psp, and a lot more coming out. Lots of them are rubbish, but most are good. The DS has more good and more bad games than the psp. Also, with a card such as the R4, or M3, the DS can also play some older consoles games (SNES, GBA, ZX spectrum, etc.) and has some good homebrew. The DS's homebrew and firmware is a lot easier to use and more compatible than the psp's too.

Overall, i think the DS is better as it has a lot more games from its own console, and has lots coming out, while also being fun and varied. The psp games are few and far between and then mostly sport. However, the ability to play PS1 games while on the go is a brilliant thing and is still worth getting a psp for.

 

Both

 

if only the DS cartridges were more than 128 MB.

If it were 512 or even 256 MB, that space would allow game developers to make better games.

I just love how PSP has games well over 1.5 GB and the DS maxes out at 128 MB.

pathetic.

 

Most probably, the NDS doesn't have powerful enough hardware to be able to reproduce games so big.

 

Oh and the game cartridges go up to 256MB

 

I've never seen one past 128 MB.

they never utilize the full capacity, and that's what I hate about Nintendo in general.

 

Well i have seen a couple past 128, and the thing with nintendo is that they arn't trying to make the most powerful, or the game with the best graphics. They're trying to make do with what they ahve to work with and their trying to be more innovative.

 

That "can't decide what to cook" or something game is a 256. But with new tech that enables ds cards to hold over 1GB its wierd why they don't utalize it...

 

I just don't see the reason why you should buy an 8 MB game for $15.

with a 256 MB cartridge, they could've made all of their games much more appealing.

 

So does the NDS.

I just love how the DS maxes out at 128MB and I hate how the PSP has games over 1.5GB. In a 1GB card, you can put several NDS games, but you might not even put a single PSP game. Think about how many cards would you need to have many games. I guess it's not funny to have your pocket filled up with 10 memory cards, is it?

I have always liked more Nintendo over Sony or Microsoft. Probably because of the GameBoy or the SNES, or the fact they started earlier than the others.

 

quality over quantity.
I would much rather play a well designed game like Crisis Core that takes up the entire memory stick, instead of playing 50 games that are anywhere from 8-128 MB in size and are considered shovelware.

I don't bother with many NDS games unless they are at least 64 or 128 MB since I know for sure that there is some substance to the game.
Most of the good ones are 128 MB anyway.

1 4 GB memory stick and my laptop does wonders for me. virtually infinite storage since I put my ISOs onto DVDs.

 

You can sometimes fit 2 PSP games on a 1 gig card. I have 3 games on my 2 GB, so that statement is null and void.

 

They normally use Mbit term for the memory capacity, such as 512Mbit, which is about 64MB.

The NDS can handle any size of games as long as the chips can support them, and as long as the graphics etc. used aren't impossible to perform on the DS. So DirectX or Direct3D is impossible for instance.

 

another psp vs nds thread? well it is only about what "fun" really means to a person. If you determine "fun" as having a graphic intense games, good sound and video quality, larger screen then go for psp, but if "fun" simply means having fun on the go then choose nds since a lot of its games offers a rather inovative gameplay unlike the oldschool up up down down left right left right thingy, it has touchscreen! Anyhow handheld gaming platform/ consoles are mainly created to play games not to be used as mp3 or video player thats why its called "handheld console". If you have the bucks then buy a separate ipod/mp3/mp4/ etc.etc. player. The bottomline line is IMO for fun i'll go for nds.
