Yeah, DS needs an analog stick just because that now there is gonna be 3D games, there needs to be a joystick...hopefully one of those "cosmetic changes" includes it.

They could have dual analogs. Perfect position in comparision to the top lid.

What exactly are you disagreeing with? LOL

Null stated it would be easy for the DS to have an analog stick with the flip down lid to keep it cozy...but he is surprised they don't have one...Which is exactly what you said...

So I don't understand your dispute...

That would be cool if DS ends up with an Analog stick, but I honestly dont see it happening. Anyways we know games can work just fine in 3D without one, just look at PS2.

I didnt even know it had a stick. I guess thats that circle under the + pad. Looks odd though. I like zodiac's thumb stick.

but of course PS2 works much better WITH the analog stick.

True. 3D games dont feel right without an analog stick. PS2 has one but Sony didn't bother making the joystick the primary thing on teh controller.

Actually it is.


It can be argued back and forth but if they were to move it, most playstation users would complain that it was moved to a secondary position.

i used to not like it down there, After playin with it for a few days (been years now) and still using ones like GC controller.
Honestly i like it in PS2's spot MUCH better. get a fuller range of momvent there. and its easier to reach up to the dpad for alternate buttons to do things.

Eh, its just personal preference. I'm just used to playing with joystick on top left not left middle area or however you want to say it:p

The more I think about it, the more I dont think I will be buying this portable. I mean, it is basically a mini ps2 with a screen and a few more gizmos. But, even though I dont own ps2, Id rather use a ps2, just because the big games will come on it anyway, and I can use my 65 inch television, and a normal controller.

true. But then again. DS is just a portable N64.


All any portable system is is just a portable game console.
One might say oh but it has 2 screens. Well think about that for a good while and its going to come back... hey. 2 screens is really just one big screen split in 2. personally. Id much rather have the one big screen with a higher res.

Quite honestly tho. because its like a portable PS2 might be THE reason im thinking about it. i hate portable games. and if the games are more like console games on this. id might actually use it instead of just a paper weight like my GBA.

I think it will actually hurt psp sales.

Im probably not getting DS either, but at least the touch screen and two screens ensures a lot of the games couldnt happen on a console this gen.

Either way, they both arent in my budget, and psp will very likely cost more than ps2, and DS obviously cost more than N64.

You'll probably need a DS for maximum Revolution gameplay...
