Nintendo DS-Lite is a cute little portable gaming devices with 2 LCD screen, touch screen, built in mic and WiFi. Though the screen size is smaller than PSP, the dual LCD screens made up with high brightness and touch screen that revolutionize the portable gaming. The main selling point of this device is on the innovative games churning out for Nintendo DS. Titles like Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword, The World Ends With You, The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, Nintendogs etc. are really innovative and fully utilize the features on this device.
When the Nintendo DS first launched, there are only few games available and they are only sold with GBA cartridges, which turned off our appetite for this device. However, after a series of awesome games starts flooding the market, DS immediately captured the heart of people around the world. Moreover, you can now use Micro-SD cards on this device with the help of an adapter, like R4 or Edge4DS. With these adapter and custom software, you can even listen to your favourite MP3/4 on DS!
On the other hand, PSP has been our companion for some time now. The unit is slick and beautiful. The enormous screen and nice 3D graphics made our jaw dropped when we first saw it. Titles like Lumines, Burnout, God of War, CC:FF7, Patapon, Metal Gear Acid were our favourites (and still is). However, most of the games on PSP is ported from PS2 and lacked originality and innovation like DS (which explains why DS outsold PSP). There is nothing wrong with the hardware...it is damn powerful device. What they need is actually more innovative titles for PSP.
Recently, not much interesting title available for PSP and we find ourselves reaching more for the DS-Lite than the PSP :P. We think that if Sony wants to increase their market share, they should focus more on the games than on the hardware now...
