PSP and long-term Third Party support IMO will be more than that of the DS

That's a very interesting thought BaB has there! All games start looking like eachother. We've all played polished versions of MGS. Do we need a portable version of it?
The DS on the other hand will continue to bring innovative, new games.

All in all, I think Nintendo will do just fine.

of course the PSP will have no original content...simply ports from existing consoles

My point is that the PSP doesn't offer much extra over the PS2, besides being portable.
Nintendo has made a whole new machine.

I'm not saying the MGS game is a port. I'm not saying PSP will only get ports (I know it won't). I'm just saying that so far, I've only seen portable sequels to / versions of PS2 games (it could just be me...).
Nintendo has shown a lot of totally new content for the DS. ...

Well past gameboy's didn't offer anything over the current consoles of the time, besides being portable (and outdated)...

And I think PSP offers some stuff... like ummm......... errr.... well........ I'll get back to you on that one...

Well PSP will have the possibility to handle games like Final Fantasy, Metal Gear, Kingdom Hearts...

The DS won't... It has nothing but a changed control scheme.

We are still getting the same Mario 64, Mario Kart, and Metroid Prime.

People call the DS innovative... but I haven't seen anything innovative... Gameplay remains the same.

Metal Gear Ac!d a game that actually tries to do something different gets bashed... yet Mario64x4 doesn't...

I believe a superiour media storage is much more important than a touchscreen.

Music and song with words VS Midi synthisizer...

Even a game like Final Fantasy 7 wouldn't be able to fit on the DS...

Even though the DS does offer new features, it also limits developers in many more ways.

even tho I'm tired of these threads, I have to make my opinion coherent.

Opinion Starts now:
There should be no talk about Nintendo delivering innovation first of all.... Their only innovation was the NES system, because it was the first. After that they kept on doing the same thing over and over again, and I guess the Nintendo fanboys bought into the market. Let's look at the trend:

NES: Mario, Zelda, Metroid
SNES: Mario, Zelda, Killer Instinct (One innovation), Metroid
N64: Mario, Zelda, Smash Brothers, Mario Kart, Metroid
GC: Mario, Zelda, Smash Brothers Melee, Mario Kart, Metroid
DS: Mario, Zelda, Smash Brothers (possibly), Mario Kart again, Metroid.

We're seeing same old games, newer version, spruced up gfx. That's the case for many consoles out there.....however.... PSP bridges that gap when they decided to offer movies, mp3's.

So ... every console out there has there "HOT SHOT GAMES" and will stick with them, with newer versions, and spiced up gfx.... the only thing that makes the PSP stand out is it's versatility."
End Opinion
