    RE: Nintendo DS

    in the beginning t might, but as soon as we see psp come to market, it's gonna drop. just like gamecube dropped from 299 to 99 euros.

    RE: Nintendo DS

    Lol my bad! o forgot there waas a nintendo e3... AIte u can lock this forum up.

    But Psp Is too overated. Nintendo has always been a portable electronics company. thats y they cant do crap about gamecube. but sony, this is the 2nd time they ever launched a portable system (pocketstation, and playstation pocket). Samthing with Sega. if they stuck with the home machines and not use handheld they wouldnt have gone bankrupt.

    RE: Nintendo DS

    actually i think most people are looking forward to the DS more than the PSP.....
    no matter how biased you may be, you cant argue that nintendo dominates the portable market

    although i do know of one or two people who seem to prefer the PSP....

    RE: Nintendo DS

    Once my overtime check comes in, I'm going to pick one up. We got two displays at the store to show off the wireless networking bit, we were going to put them 50ish ft apart from each other. While setting it up, we found out that we couldn't. So now we have a second one, sitting in the store, collecting dust. If I'm lucky, I'll get that one.

    What does PSP offer for head-to-head gaming? I don't hold a lot of stock out for it, simply because Nintendo == innovation. Playstation == marketing. Odd nugget that most of you didn't know: Playstation was originally developed as a Nintendo accessory. Nintendo scrapped it after the Sega CD bombed, which was why their stance on not needing games on CDs came about. They didn't see the viability in it, so they cancelled the project after completion. Sony took the system, made it into a stand-alone product, and released the Playstation onto the world. If Nintendo had just bought the bullet, Sony wouldn't have ridden the cloud of success off of Nintendo. Look at the controller for the Playstation (sans Dual Analog), the layout is the exact same as a SNES controller, only with two additional shoulder buttons and some minor cosmetic changes.

    Since Nintendo basically made Playstation for Sony, this is why I think they will fail as a developer on the PSP. Sure, it has some neat stuff for it, but Sony is gonna get the bite like Sega got on the Saturn on this one. The DS has sold out of every store locally, we ran through about 60 of them since Sunday. The pricepoint of $149.99 helps it, along with the fact it's GBA compatible. Sony has nothing to be backwards compatible with, so that'll stifle it's catalogue of games for launch. Also, look at the PS2... it had excellent first year sales, and the second year saw hot titles for PS2 (FFX, GT3, MGS2) coming out with the launch of Xbox/Cube. But by the third year, the steam for hot, must-have gaming came up short in comparison, especially in the department of online gaming via Xbox. If Sony has no way of quality multiplayer gaming other than sharing a screen, I doubt I'll be getting one. Graphics are nice, but I don't play games simply because they're pretty; I play games because they're fun.

    RE: Nintendo DS

    Hey MGS3 came out for PS2 and the PSP won't be out till like april-may ish for a US release so the launch cataloge will be huge in comparsion to the DS which has like five games. Granted the PSP will be like 250 (USD). We just need to wait and see. Granted the ds touch screen is really cool and inovative, like one of their launch games actually uses it. Both systems are going to be hot. It's a matter of staying power each one has that will determine the victor.

    RE: Nintendo DS

    Id prefer the PSP cause of the features it has but i have to say that the DS blowed me away when i saw it. the thing is that they have their goods and bads so its very tough for people to decide

    RE: Nintendo DS

    Thats why I'll get both, DS now and the PSP later and just cover both sides. I hate it when people become elitists with systems. If has games you like then play them and enjoy them. Don't debate why one is worse than the other. Nintendo is finally getting more adult games in it's line ups which is nice. But they have a long way to catch up to sony.

    i cant imagine what you mean when you say "a long way to catch up" unless you mean maximizing their knowledge in the field of polygon jiggling

    It's not that I have a lot of money it's just that time of year. Christmas.The PSP release is around my birthday so I'll have enough cash to spare.

    @ Assertn: What I mean is catch up in the sense of RPG's. I know nintendo has redident evil 0, 4 and FF Crystal Chronicals but they don't have anything else that has caught my eye. Their graphics are good beter than sony in a lot of respect. They don't have enough good games IMOP that support it, and I emphasise OPINION.

    yea you have a point Lefty but Nintendo its definetly catching up. There's a new rpg game for nintendo but i forgot the name. Im more of a firts person pt of view so theres a lot of games that i like in gamecube like Metroid Prime and theyre changing from more of cartoonish games to more real, violent games. Like Metroid Prime [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
