In comparison to the Nintendo DS, the Sony PSP excels in almost every way. The construction is substantially better, where the DS feels cheap; the PSP is more sturdy and firm.

The PSP ... brought as many games to launch as the DS has after several months on the market. The only real advantage the DS has is price and availability, along with their chat application that might be a nice to have if you are in a group of mobile gamers.

On the other hand, the PSP is an affordable all-in-one device for older people looking for a functional handheld to keep them busy while away from home.

Sony is dreaming big for the Sony PSP. It guided to a 12 million unit shipment number for both the PSP and PS2 this year. That is mind-boggling for a high-end handheld launch. Nintendo DS has sold about 5 million, but you have to remember the much lower price-point. Go big or go home Sony indeed.
