meh, Sony can take over the handheld market. I want Kyuzo to make more witty banter

I've seen 3 DSes in my town, no PSPs, but I did see three PSPs in one single day at the mall in Vancouver the week after release.

So far I've seen one DS at school. The kid dropped it on the ground. Ihaven't seen any PSP's yet though.

I don't get out much, I've seen one DS (back when it first came out) and no PSPs (aside from mine)... yep...

You really don't see many people around here carrying handheld game systems, if they're old they're too busy wallowing in self-pity and if they're young they're too busy being rich and drinking at over-priced bars...

mmmmm...over-priced bars...

Ive seen a DS out in publico once, awhile back. I havent seen a PSP yet. As for which I hear more talk about, neither really. Havent heard much gossip on either. Although one kid in my Programming class was watching a clip of Nintendogs, I dont think he even realised it was a DS game until I explained it to him, he just thought it was pretty cool. Then some other kid that thinks he smart dismissed it as nothing more than some decent AI.

I've seen 2 PSPs and 2 DSs. I like to avoid playing my DS in public except on the bus at night time when not many people are riding. I just prefer not to play handhelds in busy places. Back in the fall/winter, I used to play my DS on an abandoned staircase before class.

Yeah, I don't play handhelds out in public much. I don't really see the point. If I'm out, I'm usually out playing a sport or out with friends, so I wouldn't bring a handheld out for that, I'd socialize. I play the DS on roadtrips, or if I'm bored aroudn the house.

I think the main reason you don't see many handhelds is not because they aren't popular, but because they really are used more for travelling than they are for sitting outside on a sunny day and playing.

Sometimes you don't get what you ask for. Life's not fair

I've seen one DS and one (other) PSP at school. No handhelds elsewhere...

It was fun though, I drew people away from a guy's DS by pulling out my PSP. Did the same with an I-Pod.

Anywho, today I saw a Neo Geo.

A Neo Geo?

You actually saw one of the 8 sold Neo Geo's?

I was at the arcade and there was a crowd around Marvel vs. Capcom 2... like always...

I pulled out the PSP and played Darkstalkers, and a crowd formed around me. Hilarious..
