NDS, even though it has inferior graphics, and it doesn't run on discs (UMDS), and it doesn't play movies, it is better in every other way.

NDS.
Does everything the PSP can (even play movies triforce) and there's no loading times. Battery is better. Gameplay is often a lot better. No constant firmware upgrades. I could go on.

[/quote]I heard that too, aparrantly, it'll have a built-in 4 gig HD, and UMD games will be transfered directly to the HD, and also, it said it has an eyetoy built in, but I can't image an eye-toy working on a portable console!

There's also rumous of a television attachment so you can watch the movies and play the games on TV. Isn't that great? It won't be a portable system anymore!

I was debating between PES5 on the PSP against Mario Kart DS so I broke it down to what the systems can do and PSP with the Firmware really boosted it. Think of it like this, PSP will make a great Firmware version and it will be cracked, Then when a working DS Emulator comes along you have a DS on the PSP, Although i'm not saying this is cheap.


I voted PSP

NDS, i was just playing it last night actually. Really its good fun. On a plus side of things, DS gaming can only get better with the upcoming comfort stylus. So now, theres a stylus to suit just about everyone. The games that are released so far are great too :D. I vote for DS.

[/quote]That won't be happening, it would be impossible to emulate a touch screen on a console that hasn't got one.

Not every game requires a touch screen.
Mario Kart for one. Animal Crossings for another.
But I don't see that hapening either. An N64 emulator is in the works for PSP though... that ought to be interesting.

Ok, not every game, but the majority do. And I can't imagine a N64 emulator for the PSP, because the PSP hasn't goe enought buttons to be able to emulate the N64.

That doesn't stop people.
SNES was emulated on the GBA.
And PSX was emulated on the DC.
Neither of which had enough buttons.

And while the Xbox does have enough buttons, none are in the proper orientation for N64, but N64 is emulated on it. It's not perfect, but it happens.
