Sony Playstation Portable or Nintendo DS Lite?

Some people have been asking me this question for quite some time ever since I bought a Nintendo DS Lite: Which is better, PSP or NDS? Well, honestly, I don’t know since I don’t own a PSP. It’s hard to compare two things without experiencing using both. I don’t want to rely on hearsay or articles on the net praising each other’s favorite handheld gaming device. So, maybe, I’ll buy a PSP next month just to answer your question honestly. Hehehe. Well, I really want to have a PSP in the near future.

Anyway, here’s a nice comparison made by CNET I saw from Youtube. Well, they preferred PSP.

Just a note. Using R4DS with some homebrew application in it can also turn your Nintendo DS Lite into an iPod, video player and even an organizer.

So, it’s really up to you. If you are addicted to anything Mario, buy NDS. If you want more features, buy PSP. I prefer buying both of them. I’ll buy a PSP in the near future. Why choose, if you can have both? 🙂

That’s all!

  1. I’d prefer PSP. I don’t have money to have both of them anyway. ;D

  2. I have PSP and I say I like it better than DS (my friends have DS). My reason is because of the graphics. 😀

  3. Hahaha ngaun ko lang nabasa toh, sabi sayo mas madami preferred ang PSP dito sa SG eh, almost lahat ng guys mapamatanda or bata puro PSP ang hawak, cguro 8 out of 10. un 2 eh sa DS or other gaming gadgets.

    So what are you waiting for? bili na ahahaha!

  4. hm i’d rather prefer to buy a ds lite than a psp because it doesn’t matter whether the graphics
    is good or not what important is the gameplay and how yourself enjoy the games preferred by different game console systems.
    well, this is actually what i think, uhm if you really are a casual gamer and a die hard fan of Mario, Zelda, Pokemon and other Nintendo stuffs like that you have to pick ndsl while if you are a hardcore gamer and your taste is with excellent graphics and portable entertainment (but now ds has its homebrew hardware which lets you watch videos, listen to music and even have a tv tuner on your system) you should choose psp 😉

  5. i have psp and ds lite.. but i prefer ds lite!.. u can play gameboy advance games and ds lite games when ur using ds.. though psp have better graphics.. ds lite gives better game play and options.. i think psp and ps2 are just the same only the difference are bein portable and mobile type.. so i’d prefer ds lite for its different gameplay and the 2 screens rules..! 😛

  6. PSP killssss it. I don’t know but the Nintendo DS Lite has never looked appealing to me.

  7. I’m not sure if DS is better than PSP because I own a PSP.
    But now I think I would never replace my PSP for a DS just for the reason that I like to play mario, pokemon, and other Nintendo games. I found a way to play GBA games in my psp afterall. That’s enough for me 🙂

    That’s not all… I also found a way to read e-books and play ps1 games. Plus, I like the fact that I can watch videos/movies, play games with good graphics, listen to music, take a picture(a tiny camera should be attached and is sold separately), make my own background, so many themes to choose from, etc.
    And I’ve also read somewhere that some people developed something that could make PSP play DS games (but i haven’t tried that yet because i don’t want to risk bricking my psp. LOL. and besides, i think most DS games that requires 2 screens won’t work w/ PSP)

    So I guess I won’t know which one is better because I LOVE MY PSP. 😀

  8. its really hard to compare since it depends on the person playing.

    my cousin used to have psp and he switched to ds. . .part reason is also that most of his friends use ds.

    for me, i prefer ds because of the games, but i do like psp’s graphics.

  9. nintendo checked this and now they made the ninteno ds lite its lighter better graphics and plays game boy advance games

    Bought a PSP today. Alongside my DS, I can say that PSP is the handheld for me.

    Choosing a handheld depends on who will be using it.

    PSP: If you’re a hardcore gamer, Age 13 above, Male. Then this is the unit for you since the PSP’s target gamer are generally males. If you like hack and slack and famous RPGs, baby buy it.

    DS: This unit is for everybody. Male or female, three years old and above. With such a wide target user, the games will not usually fit hardcore gamers since most of the games are rather easy going, cute and mild (but DS has the best puzzle games though, if you’re a puzzle geek, pick this one).

    So if you like rollercoaster rides and arcades, PSP is for you. If you like Carousel and Ferris wheel rides, DS is the right unit for you…aye.

  11. In my eyes the nintendo DS are a lot better.. but psp are good for older boys but I prefure the DS any day with a touch screen and alot funner games, being able to connect with other people and connecting to the internet GO FOR THE DS if you can’t deside! cause they are way better.. the nintendo DS lite also runs alot faster and very rarely loads unlike the psp… also the DS games are’nt as easy to get sick of them and you don’t finish them as fast!! GO FOR THE DS

  12. for me,ds is better…there are lots of games you can choose from and in a 2 gig mem card,you can fit more than 50 games! e sa PSP the games are so big! tagal pa mag-load…So me and my 5 year old son can play it both!mas maganda sya!

  13. I’ve psp and DS lite too. But psp is my favorite. I like it because of graphics and many awesome features. Thanks for the nice article.

  14. i prefer ndsl coz i’m a fan of pokem0n mario and d0nkey k0ng lol

  15. I vote for NDSL coz it fits my personality (love puzzles, mind games etc…) and has variety of games that will keep you addicted.

  16. all new gadgets are super cool i wish i have them all…………….
