Prizefight: PSP Slim vs. DS Lite

It's the battle for portable gaming supremacy! Brian Tong finds out who throws the hardest punch between the Sony PSP Slim and the Nintendo DS Lite.

Nintendo has dominated the portable gaming market for the last 20 years. The PSP is doing well for its first venture into the portable gaming scene.

EDIT: Anyone else notice when he was scoring the game library, he called it a PS3? lol

I'm pretty sure the Xbox 360 would win this one

Le-mo6576d ago (Edited 6576d ago )

Seriously Zhuk. Are you always this subconscious?

TheMART6576d ago

If you don't see the fun Zhuk is bringing with his straight forward posts, then I guess you're lost ;-)

Ontopic:

More then a half year ago the DS outsold the PSP by a factor 2:1
At the moment, the PSP is outselling the DS with factor 2:1
(at least in Japan on the latest sales numbers I saw)

First: the PSP was bought because of more functions and the DS was sold about its fun games

At the moment, with God of War, Loco Roco, Patapon, Flow, Echochrome and soonish games like Loco Roco 2 and -fingers crossed- maybe Litte Big Planet for the PSP, its winning on the group of people that before would have bought a DS.

Just see what software does in Japan with Monster Hunter 2. It is pushing the PSP to unbelievable hights in sales

This is how I see it. If you want a handheld with more features then get a PSP. If you want a handheld with fun games then get a DS.

Fun is purely a subjective matter...

I hate it when ppl say "nintendo sacrifices graphics for BETTER and FUNNER gameplay" this is ummmm BS its not like any other company cant make FUN games.

Having said that I think it all comes down to the price and features.....

The real question to consumers
Are you willing to pay the extra ammount for the psp for the extras?

Im pretty sure if the psp was PRICED exactly the same as the ds.... the ds will die out pretty fast.

This applies also to the home console market sony vs ms, vs nintendo
All systems have their games and all but are you willing to pay extra for the features?

mistertwoturbo6576d ago

The PSP is the only successful portable gaming device that didn't get killed off by Nintendo. Anybody remember the Game Gear? lol

Rageanitus6576d ago

was quite awesome.... but to expensive for many vs the competition... and what really killed it was the battery life.... a NO NO for portable devices.

I enjoyed both Rush games, I did think the action was sometimes too fast to see what was coming up in terms of hazards though, which meant replaying the same stage a bunch of times, other than that they were enjoyable, good special stages, 3D sections and bosses for the most part.

DS is one of the best consoles of all time. Such a rich library of software
Zelda were all glorious on it.
