If Nintendo is really committed to reaching a broader, more diverse audience of gamers beyond the "kids" market that they've always engaged, there isn't much new with the DSi to support that. Significant gamer demographic groups are being ignored, and there continues to be limited opportunities for games from external publishers to do well on the DSi. Compare that with the PSP platform, where we have many blockbuster franchises from our publishing partners launching this year, representing a wide variety of genres and targeting diverse demographics. Games such as Rock Band Unplugged from MTV Games, Assassin's Creed from Ubisoft, Dissidia Final Fantasy from Square Enix, and Hannah Montana from Disney demonstrate the commitment that publishers have to the PSP. From our own first-party studios, we're launching unique versions of LittleBigPlanet and MotorStorm, and we're also planning a steady stream of downloadable games -- both new titles and PSone classics -- to add to the content that PSP owners can already purchase wirelessly through PlayStation Store.

I think they're talking about the PSOne games they have up on PSN to download, which work on the PSP.
Well, PSP is the better system but sadly sales will not reflect this :'(

I don't know what the hell 3D picross is but i bet it stinks!
I'll care about PSP when they release LBP for it.

Whatever the merits of their arguments, these companies probably shouldn't take a direct potshot at one of their competitors, it always comes off weak and lame.
Hannah Montana is the best selling third party game on the DS :-\QuoteHannah Montana from Disney demonstrate the commitment that publishers have to the PSP.

I like how the few titles in that paragraph are almost literally the entire known lineup for the PSP this year.
This shit never works out anyway, remember how the N-Gage would be the real man's portable gaming system?
Which handheld currently has the best Grand Theft Auto EVER? Oh, that's right, it's the DS.
PSP obliterated.
That third-party list is fucking hilarious. :lol

For all its technical prowess, the psp is irrelevant as a portable. I don't think American culture really supports anyone other than children playing away from their couch. The ds has an awesome library but I have no use for it. I don't commute on public transportation, I don't travel on plane. In spite of that, a ds player wouldn't make sense because of the input method. It at least has that benefitting it.Yeah, handhelds don't work as well in the US. I believe the success of the DS is attributed to the fact that it is a better platform for kids. It has its fair share of solid games, but it's clearly aimed at children. The PSP attempted to reach for a different market and, while it is the most successful non-Nintendo handheld to date, it is proving that there simply isn't a huge market for handhelds outside of the kid realm.
I was a big Game Gear fan back in the day, battery life sucked ass but all you needed was a car charger and you'd be set for long roadtrips.
I recently saw the system at some random store and was shocked at how big and clunky it was. We've really come a long way, anyone remember how the Lynx was unnecessarily created to be big so gamers would think the system would have more power?
ugh, that game :yuck

Here's a hint: Chinatown Wars is the best GTA ever made. If you say otherwise you're a liar or a fool.I suppose I can see why some people might feel that way, but the experience Chinatown Wars provides is VERY different from many of the other GTA games. I never enjoyed the overhead games much, to be honest, and although it offers plenty of improvements, it didn't change my mind.
PSP can play 6 GTA games; only one of those games is worse than Chinatown Wars.

I could never really get into the GTA sidestory games on the PSP. If I want to play a GTA3-style GTA game, I'll just pop one of those in my PS2. The PSP GTA's just felt like too much of a retread and not really designed to be portable games. And I'm a huge GTA fan, played the series from the first game up to Chinatown and beaten most of them.
On the other hand, Chinatown Wars is an awesome fusion of some of the things that made the old GTAs so good and some of the things that made the newer GTAs so good, while being perfectly suited to short bursts of 10-15 minutes and actually making decent use of the DS's touch screen.
It does force you to use touch screen all the time. It even makes the distinguished mentally-challenged mistake of having touch screen shit happening in real time while other things are.
For example: you are running from the cops, you see a car you want to jack, you go in and suddenly you have to play a fucking mini-game, which you can't even complete because it's fucking real time and the cop will throw you out. Or how about having to rub the bottom screen to bring a patient back to life while driving the ambulance. Or having to touch the screen to throw grenades. Or having to use the touch screen for basic menu commands. Or having to press a fake button on the touch screen WHEN THERE ARE 8 PHYSICAL BUTTONS TO USE, ONE OF WHICH IS USED TO ACTIVATE THINGS
but Chinatown Wars doesn't have a good story or even cutscenes with serviceable dialogue.
As for the PSP "stories" games, yeah, they weren't suited for portable gaming, but that doesn't mean shit, especially if you played them on the PS2.
:bow PSP :bow2
best machine sony ever made.

So is the screen better? Does it have better speakers instead of the crappy DSL speakers?
i hope to god they don't bother with touch screen for the PSP2me too, but Kosma was hinting that the next PSP will have some form of touch screen control :-\
but we know they will :(
all we need is dual analogue and we are set.It could use more handheld specific games, instead of just console games shoehorned onto the system, but that is my only hardware complaint. PSP is awesome
