Nintendo or PSP - Page 2

Lost in Time · 06-06-2004, 10:36 PM

I am a Nintendo fan, I will get the DS. Sony is not a gaming company, it is an entertainment company, adding DVD's and MP3's to their systems. While Nintendo is pure gaming, which I love. Sure MP3's and DVD's are great, but I already have an MP3 player and I'm not a movie person. (If the PSP added those.) But, I'll be tricked into buying the PSP anyway, but only after the DS.

I'll probably end up buying the DS, b/c I'm a diehard Nintendo fan. Plus, they have more experience in the handheld market, and I like the double screen, stylus idea. Even if its just for menus and maps.

Im a diehard Nintendo fan as well and I have dicided that for the time being Im going to say DS but if the PSP is something really special Ill get both.

If I didn't care, I wouldn't choose. It is not a matter of choosing between the two. Unless you are a poor college student.

However, my GBA is beat up, and I didn't buy an SP because it didn't have any new games just for it. My GBA serviced me well. And I think it's time for me to upgrade to DS, and put my GBA on standby for FFCC and LoZ4S+. The PSP just seems to gadgety to me.

It's a toss-up between the two until they're released and we get some real hands-on experience with them.

I'll buy niether because I have no money and never got into the hand-held market anyway.

Face what. You state it like we all deep inside know it is...when you're the only one who so far has said this.

And what I'm really hoping someone will do with the PSP is somehow make an adapter so you can play DivX and some forms of MPEG. This way I could use the PSP as a portaple (and reletively cheap) on-the-go video device. Oh, watching Anime while standing in lines atconventions would be finally a reality!

And did we have this many die hard Nintendo fans on the board? Wow, they're all coming out!

no ds shall fail miserably and psp as well because a portable system has come out better than both and that is the portable atari 2600 with graphics before our time...well at least my time..

both are going to it the gaming market extremely hard and are going to decimate the wannabes like ngage...both are probably are not going to be battling for dominance considering that both offer very distinct functions that may be suited to different individuals.

fun fact: i heard a rumor ... so come to think of it this isent a ... fact o well back to the rumor i heard that supermario 64 fourplayer will be released for the DS if this is true .... GAME SET AND MATCH DS!

They're not something to compare, in my opinion. They are completely different. Though they are both competing and coming out around the same time, people most likely will choose one or the other, not because they're slaves to Sony/Nintendo [well, I suppose some will], but because they find that one has more useful features than the other.

I, for one, think that the DS will be quite good, because this is kind of Nintendo's last chance. If it flops, they're out. Then again, if it does well, then they'll be around for a bit longer, or possibly out do everyone else. That's why I think it will be good; think about how much effort/money Nintendo is putting into this project.

The PSP is Sony's first shot at a handheld, and they have a similair situation as Nintendo. If it flops, they'll have another competitor for a while longer. So, I'm guessing they're spending a lot on this project as well.

I'm not buying either. I can go for a week without videogames, and certainly to a restaruant and back. If I want to play a videogame, I'll wait and play a good one.

I'm done being stupid.
