So who's getting a PSP this month?

[A Black Falcon]

What an incredibly ignorant thing to say. Just about every third-party out there is signed up for PSP development, and the launch lineup shows how great it is. Your logic baffles me.

Based solely on number of titles, how does the DS actually compare to the PSP right now? Not your propaganda, the actual numbers.

The only other game that's almost worth buying is Feel the Magic. That's it.

WarioWare and Yoshi don't count?

Hey guess what? The system launched in the fall!

I am, obviously, talking about the US...

Did I say "bad"? No. I said "very few good games".

And I said that that's not true.

Correction: 3D games look terrific on the PSP. The screen is fucking HUGE. Just wait until you see one in person. The DS is more welcoming to 2D because of the unique hardware, and because it doesn't do 3D nearly as well as the PSP.

It's still a LOT smaller than a TV and that requires adjustments ingame. You can't just take a TV-sized game, shrink it to a small screen, and call it good. Especially with 3D, you've got to make changes to make it easier on the player... small-screen 3D can be tricky, no matter how comparitively large the graphics are. So you've got to optimize it for the platform and that means not just ports, but changing the game... like an article I read about a racing game for PSP (Need for Speed?) and how to make it easier to play on a small screen (compared to PS2) they had to do things like lights along the sides of the turns (different on the left and right I believe), a smaller cityscape, no lights above a few floors above the road on the buildings, etc... otherwise all the detail just confused the player on a small screen.
