The True Sign of The Apocalypse

Nintendo DS vs. Sony PSP. Two of the most anticipated handhelds to come out this year. PSP promises to have the better graphics, but Nintendo promises to have better capabilities. Nintendo made a wise move making the price so low ($149.00), it might just be what makes them come out on top! Sony on the other hand set their prices as high as $300.00 or a little bit less!The Graphics for the PSP are outstanding, you forget you are looking at a handheld devise. the PSP has mp3 capabilities and movie playback, it has some of the hottest titles for its release, but they are trying to beat the clock to have it ready in time! The PSP is also very customizable, they have different skins, and other add-ons. But with a price so high i don't think they will be rushed off the shelves as fast as the DS! The DS is has ALOT of functions, and it ceases to amaze me how many it has. One thing the DS has that will revolutionize handhelds is the touchscreen, it makes gameplay suprisingly easier. They also have some hot titles to be released. What Will, in my opinion, knock PSP out of the race is its server capabilities. with wireless access, you can "jump" from one server to the next. I can play with people who are in Europe from america! it acts as a wireless network. example:

Me- Three Friends in range of DS (Bobby, Joe, and Rodger)
Joe - Three Friends in range of DS ( Sarah, Alex, and Kevin)
Alex - Three Friends in range of DS ( Leo, Patrick, and Dan)

with the DS's Wireless network capabilities I (ME) can play Leo, Patrick, and Dan, because they are in range of alex's DS, and Alex is in range of joe's DS, and Joe is in range of my DS. The DS also has Game Servers. So if someone else on the Wireless network has a game and you want to play them but you don't have that game, you can just upload it from a person who has it! that will knock PSP out of the water! PSP has wireless capabilities, but i have yet to know what for! Sony has come out with a new type of disk (UMD) it will make it so you can not pirate thier games! nintendo is like "What the hell, your going to do it anyway. Why don't we let you!" i guess within 4 months after UMD disks are released they will be pirated! Now when the DS is release its wireless network and game servers will be free, but i have yet to find out if they will charge after they get everything settled down! so keep your eyes open! The PSP's graphics beat the DS by a mile, but the DS's capabilities, win overall. So in my opinion the DS is the way to go with its affordable price, and great capabilities! tell me who you think will win: DS vs. PSP?
