I've been around.

I remember when I was buying my PSP, and the clerk pushed me to buy "Smart Bomb." What a joke.

Developers need time and experience developing for each handheld. So don't expect mind boggling or awesome games just yet.

pfffft, im not buying that excuse. How many times have we seen awsome and mind boggling games at a systems launch? Super Mario 64 instantly comes to mind.....but there are others.

As for the games on each system, PSP has all the mainstream crap that you think of when you think of the Playstation, and none of the good stuff. NDS has all kinds of origional stuff that might or might not be good...thats my take on it anyways.

mainstream is a very powerful word.

PSP burns DS in the Sports department, and DS burns PSP in platforms.

Basically... each handheld will have it's followings and fans.

I soooo care about sports games *humps EA* (kidding with a mixture of sarcasm )

Both handhelds have been doing tougher overall. More people are modding PSP because its easier, more 3rd party accessories obviously because PSP is video also, etc... I think what will happen is Sony will cut a decent chunk of the handheld market because well, this time its a company that has more then games to fallback on if for some 'screw'all reason they fail the handheld market unlike Sega and others who just have little funds to fallback on if it fails.

DS will have the quirky games everyone says is the biggest piles of crap but others will proclaim as awesome (Nintendogs comes to mind). PSP will have all the PS2 ports and eventually people are gonna complain more and more about less original PSP games. But DS has that syndrome also. Nintendo needs to get fresh games, not rehash. Mario 64DS was great and all but come on Nintendo, your better then that. The new Mario game is shaping to be awesome but I'm starting to get slowly sick of all the rehashes for overpriced fees *cough GBA Classics series* for 5-20 year old games.

Both in the end will win. PSP will be successful because of its video capability whereas Nintendo will be successful because of the way you can play games in a new way. Granted, touch screen has been around for quite awhile but not implemented heavily into games.

Once Nintendo starts dropping the franchise titles, I think you'll see an increase in popularity for the DS.

GTA on the PSP would be cool, but after playing San Andreas.....

Let's just say, Zelda will probably hit home for more handheld users then say, sports titles, or even GTA.

I'm not saying that the PSP is doomed or going anywhere, but in the long run, I think the DS is going to be in the limelight the most.

But, who the hell cares? You can emulate games on the PSP. No one is going to mention that in official sales comparisons, but if I had to base my purchase on that fact alone, I'd get the PSP hands down.

Reading about emulation on PSP, I was about to go out the door and buy one but I had to resist..have to save money for now. But damnit, I will have one eventually
