Kids can drop a DS and it'll bounce back just fine compared to a fragile PSP.


Bingo!  People always say that one of Nintendo's faults is their simple, toy-like console design, but the fact is that toys are designed to withstand the abuse kids inflict on them.  I would rather be able to still play my games in 10 years than have a system that's aesthetically pleasing right now.

According to this article, the PSP outsold the DS in USA during 2005.

According to recently released sales data, the Sony PSP outsold the Nintendo DS in America by over a million units last year, with the PSP selling 3.63 million and the DS selling 2.43 million. However, the credibility of this data has somewhat of a question mark. Both the reaction in the gaming community and the corporate community suggest that the DS has performed better than this and the PSP has performed worse than this, and the official figures from NPD even have the DS winning the year. Whatever actually happened, the DS still maintains an overal lead thanks to it's 2004 sales of over 1.5 million.

Yep, every kid wants a PSP to make up for their phallic shortcomings.

In something that is not in jest, it should be noted that the DS still has the lead for overall sales thanks to it 2004 sales.

Which begs the question Certain victory for the PSP?  I think not.

The PSP is better for browsing the internet or listening to MP3s.


I'll give you the MP3's, but I won't give you the web browsing.  The DS may not have web browsing capabilities (yet), but if you've actually used a PSP to browse the net, you know that no support is better than the HORRIBLE support the PSP has.  You have absolutely no idea how painful it is to type a web address in on that thing, or even how long it takes for pages to load.  Trust me....  the web browsing on PSP is not a good feature.  It's more like a festering wound.
