The Ds has good games it’s that simple. They are simple, easy, anybody can play them, and you don’t need to commit a large sum of time to games. You can pick up a game and play for a few minutes to a few hours and it doesn’t matter. The touch screen is Amazing ands makes games like the new super Mario bros and warioware touched great fun games that can deliver hours and hours of fun, but again you don’t need to play for a few hours you can play just a few mini games before class starts or before you get off the bus on your way to school or work.
The PSP in which I had a few months ago was nice as I got it the day it came out. I got Tony hawk at first and then I got madden 2006, The Socom, burnout and a bunch of other games. I also heavily modded my PSP's software and use all sorts of emulation and homebrews and such. I watched movies and did remote desktop and a lot of other stuff. All of this was great but there was one general thing that overrode all the fun modding and emulation. THE GAMES SUCKED. There weren’t and still are not any games on the PSP that can deliver the fun of Mario Kart, Any Mario game, Brain Age and of course Zelda. Just the fact that there are Zelda games for game boy advanced is the Killer for other companies, because lets be serious others can’t compete with Zelda.
Wireless on the DS is also easier to use and faster. All Wi-fi software on the DS is written by Nintendo, no matter what game, and then third parties implement Nintendo wi-fi code. To my knowledge on the PS2 and PSP each part makes there own wi-fi code and implements it the way that they choose.
To some the newest Graphics are the best thing around; to me game play is always better. I personally think standard Counter strike is the best game ever made and second is Zelda ocarina of time. I don’t think High end graphics are worth it because to me Games with better graphics suck, as there is just way to much emphasis on the graphics and not on the actual theory of the game and the game play itself.
In general this is why I say the Wii is going to Dominate over the ps3 and the xbox360. People just don’t care about the graphics, only the enthusiasts do. The PS# will sell out and so will the wii, but after the enthusiasts get there systems, we will see that the Wii will dominate due to it being cheaper, having fun games and bring back a Family and friend aspect to games.
Im a engineering student, I spend all day solving math problems, writing code and algorithms. The true last thing i want to do is spend alot of tiume solvingmore problems in games and such. My reason for liking Nintendo alot better,.
This is just my opinion
