So who's getting a PSP this month?

[A Black Falcon]

Funny how you people never complained about this with any of the Gameboys. The difference between them and the PSP is that the PSP is much closer to current console tech than any of the GBs were.

And that fact forces GB games to be noticably different from their major-console siblings. That should be pretty obvious.

But yes, I agree that having a different experience on a handheld is a good thing. It's just that despite with its potential the DS only has a couple of games worth buying. Compare that to the PSP which has games worth buying at launch. The DS came out in... October, was it? OCT/NOV, something. In about five months time there are two games worth getting, maybe three. In the first day of the PSPs launch there's MG Ac!d, Lumines, Wipeout, Twisted Metal, Ridge Racers, and a few other games worth buying. I have a feeling that I'll have many more PSP games within the next few years than DS ones. I hope that Nintendo and other devs don't let that happen.

OB1, this is NINTENDO we're talking about. They don't release all that many games and, in recent years, they seem to want to make it hard for third parties to release a lot of stuff on their systems. So of course PSP will have more games than DS. The final proportion, though, will be based on the sales of both consoles... if DS keeps doing as well as it is, it should see a more reasonable comparison rate. But given the companies involved, and hardware platforms, of course PSP will have more games... though it might not have more games that are actually original. That could easily go either way... (yes, DS will have some N64 ports, but PSP will surely have far more PS1 and PS2 ports...)
