So who's getting a PSP this month?

[OB1]

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

"Propaganda"? Why don't you make a list of all of the awesome DS titles then? I have a system, so it's not like I don't want there to be any more good games. Haha, what a tool.

WarioWare and Yoshi don't count?

I already said Wario Ware. That's the other game I have aside from Mario 64. Feel the Magic is cute, but definitely not worth $30. Yoshi isn't out yet. It's coming out tomorrow. Not a AAA title though.

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

The DS launched in the U.S. first, you know.

And I said that that's not true.

And you are wrong.

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.

The difference is negligable. Wait until you see something like Wipeout on a PSP screen. You won't believe your eyes.
