What is better for an RPG gamer for a hand held system for xmas, a Sony PSP or a Nintendo DS?

Looking to get one for Xmas. I play mostly RPGs and a little bit of action/adventure games.What is better for an RPG gamer for a hand held system for xmas, a Sony PSP or a Nintendo DS?Earlier this week, the ultimate RPG was announced for the PSP. There will be a Final Fantasy coming to the PSP. I鈥檓 not sure when, certainly not before christmas, but it will be coming out.

I know of AT LEAST two other RPG鈥檚 for the PSP that are out right now...I鈥檓 sure more are coming soon.What is better for an RPG gamer for a hand held system for xmas, a Sony PSP or a Nintendo DS?PSP is hands down the cadillac option. It offers so much to the owner beyond games. To an RPG gamer you might find the networking to be an extra bonus, being able to communicate with other PSP owners during a game a plus. The DS has this also, but the graphics on a DS are infantile in comparison.



I suggest you read the G4 article on PSP/DS comparison. It does a great job of breaking down the 2 systems.

Sony PSP is the better option.

Considering you're an RPG gamer, and most of the RPGs coming out on most of the popular consoles are usually on PS2, the PSP will definately have a range of solid and new RPGS churning out steadily for the hungry gamer.

Plus the fact that some Final Fantasy games are coming out, including the one which takes place before FF7, Before Crisis.
