    I'd actually disagree with you, for me the PSP is just a smaller PS3, it uses the XMB format (At least I think it's called that) and for all intents and purposes plays the same sort of games.

    For me the DS family is better because it utilises touch screen technology and is markedly different from it's parent console, the Wii and Wii U. While the Wii uses motion control, the daughter handheld instead uses something different. With the PSP, aside from a few minor changes, the controls are similar and is basically just a shrunken PS3.

    PSP is better because a modded PSP is smurfing amazing.

    Unmodded, DS has the better Game selection. The only real competition PSP or Vita have is some bitchin remakes.

    DS offers more good original Titles which count for a lot more with me.

    Yep. The Playstation Portable is a very aptly named system. It's a portable Playstation, and that's not a bad thing, but the DS has a better lineup of good games, and more good games in general than the PSP.
    My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.

    He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.

    I would like to point out some amazing titles such as Daxter, Crisis Core, Secret agent clank, size matters, Kingdom Hearts BBS, Warriors Orochi 2, Jak and Daxter 4, Corpse Party, FF 4 complete, Dissidia Duodecim, Bloodlines, NFS MW, P3P, Monster Hunter, 3rd Birthday, lamecraft and others!
    The fact that it can play movies, music, and comics is just a small bonus!
    It has less games than DS, but a lot more quality ones. It is just better!

    DS has some of the most original games I've ever seen. Not knocking the PSP, though. It's a good system.

    PSP is great if you want to play Playstation games on the move.

    I'd rather play Playstation games using an actual controller and my TV though.

    The whole being able to play movies etc is an irrelevant concern to me where I don't travel long enough distances to make use of it.

    For me the DS/3DS, and heck even iOS, has more games that I can pick-up and play and put down again at a whim's notice on short bus-rides/train journeys. So for my personal criteria those are the better systems.

    If I had nothing to do all day or had to go on lengthy journeys I'd probably use the PSP - along with about 4 spare battery packs as having one of the original builds the battery life on mine is feckin' attrocious.

    The 3000 battery lasts about as long as a ds, and the vita even longer. Also, unlike with the ds, you can turn off the system at any time and it saves your spot.

    the DS goes into sleep mode if you close your screen and resumes when you reopen...i think you're rather misinformed.

    I counter those with the vastly superior selection of Devil Survivor 1 & 2, Luminous Arc 1 - 3, Lockes Quest, Nostolgia, Radiant Historia, Final Fantasy IV, ScribbleNaughts, and Sands of Destruction.

    One of those is a not as good version of a game on the psp, scribblenauts is the most pointless and easy game ever concieved. I haven't played the rest except DS. And DS < P3P

    FF IV on PSP can only be superior because of The After Years being included, and Scribblenaughts is just gooffy fun, so I'll let that one slide.

    But your list includes Monsterhunter and the Jack and Daxter games, all of which are simply decent. Really that's the entire list, games that are decent.

    And P3P failed because it lacked the answer, leaving it inferior to FES on the PSP anyway, so that's hardly a selling point there.
