Just remember you said that 10 months from now.

Yes and this is the portable market we are discussing which I shouldn't have to tell you is a very different beast than the home front. The very fact that the PSP is a spendy portable PS2 is precisely why it is behind.

Keep in mind even with the PSP's crappy lineup, and it truly has been atrocious for about 9 months, it still has 40-45% of the market in Japan and over 50% here. What do you think may happen once good games start coming down the pike?

OK. Got my quote saved, huh?

[Spike]

Anyways, I will just close quoting something Spike said earlier:

Yeah, and I don't really like the DS all that much. Thing is, I dislike the PSP just a little less.

[Clash!]

Dylan I would'nt get too cocky, PSPs line up this year so far destroys their last year line up, I don't see why you can't imagine it getting better. And there still needs to be a lot more announced for the DS, it does have some juggernauts, but those are the only games announced.

[Spike]

Easy. The DS was able to get a bunch of quality games out the door in late 2005 for two reasons: 1. The hardware is a little bit older than the PSP. 2. The hardware is less powerful and easier to develop for than the PSP. What was a boon for the DS in late 2005 will be a boon for the PSP in 2006. Go look at the announced games for each for this year. The PSP stomps all over it. Could that change at E3? Sure, but I predict it will get more lopsided. The fact that all you could name were first party games is evidence of it.

I will never understand the anti-Sony sentiment on this board. They have had better games than all competitors combined for two generations. While you're rubbing your cock against your Xbox and DS in the backseat, don't forget who's in the drivers seat.

Whatever. Home market does not equal the portable market. Look at the PSP lineup, and you'll see the majority of ports.

Regardless, I'm not a handheld fan anyways. I'd rather all these games come to the home consoles so that I can play them on my 32" screen. At least with the PSP, most of these games can come over.

[ChaoofNee]

I honestly don't care which company makes more money. I like my DS games, though.

Sometimes TNL is like GameFAQs with better spelling. This is one of those times.

No doubt about this. One of the reasons I hope the PSP succeeds is because it's at least closer to the console experience. In a perfect world, they'd both croak and a portable PS2 would be born so that companies would not have to make separate handheld games and waste resources that should be used for consoles.

Yeah, and I don't really like the DS all that much. Thing is, I dislike the PSP just a little less.

D'oh! That's what I get for trying to ride someone else's thunder, huh?

Clash: I don't deny the lineup is getting a lot better. And just as nobody saw the DS beating the PSP in 2005, well who knows what could happen? The next-gen portable war is an all new ballgame, that is for sure.
