At this point, calling the PSP anything more than a system with potential would just be disingenuous, and saying that the PSP is just as good as the DS is just wrong. Sorry, but at some point the Sony fans are going to have to come to grips with this.
So the more commercial hype a system has, the better it makes the system? Maybe in La-La Land.

DS is an innovative handheld, but how many games have actually used its innovation or even used it in a practical way? Maybe about five or six games. If you're getting it for innovation, you're better off getting a Wii instead (which is actually using its innovative controller to the fullest).

The DS is proving why Nintendo is the king of gimmicky innovations. I mean, seriously, it's like them to innovate and then have the third-party developers not utilize it. Even Nintendo themselves aren't utilizing their own functions.

The PSP, while costly, doesn't need a gimmick to keep it afloat. The only thing wrong is that a lot of games on it are ports, and the ports cost a lot (though only about 5 bucks more than the DS games). That and Sony is intent on milking money out of people with their peripherals and using the PS3 connectivity to make a quick buck as well. But there are still many great original games on it, about as many as the DS has.

Sorry for derailing your thread, Krod91. I'd say the PSP is definitely worth it at this point. For next year, there are a lot of games being planned for it, along with all the good games already out on it.
