I am....

At e3 2004 After trying both consoles I felt that the DS was more innovative and had more to offer for me than the PSP. However Initially I didn't want to buy either because I didn't think I needed either one. However during the DS launch I found it to be a rare commodity which made me feel like I was getting a deal when I found one for retail. Also Feel the Magic looked like a nice interesting game so I just picked one up. However after Feel the Magic I didn't see any other games that interested me. So I thought to myself "maybe when Warioware Touched comes out that'll be a great game". Wrong..... And in between I imported Band Bros (which was a bit dissapointing) And I bought Mario 64 For a decent price (though I hated the game O.o). So in the end When warioware got reveiwed needless to say the low score got me discouraged. Now 2 more Reviews are out at gamespot with 2 more low reviews for the 2 new games. I'm just sick of the DS and Nintendo's lack of new interesting games. And In the end the Touch screen aspect s tarted to feel like a gimmick more than an actual fun gameplay aspect. Like for Band bros they just used it like another button and for the upcoming castlevania you use it to break down walls..... All in all The PSP has more launch titles that I'd want than the DS has all year. Anyone else feel this way?

Nope. Gonna have both. I'm a completist. Must have all the handhelds.

No.

The DS will be continuing my second favorite game series (Doubutsu no Mori, a.k.a. Animal Crossing), and my excitement for both handhelds has been too tremendous for me to let either go.

I did. I bought a ds at launch and never really played it past the first week.

The way I look at it, I can have multiple consoles with no problems. However when I travel around I really don't want to take around more than 1. Especially if i'm traveling light. My walet, keys, cellphone and then 1 portable at most.

Sigh...

Sadly my DS sold at a pretty low price. The guy who bought it is pretty nice so I don't mind too much I guess =) He even offered to let me relist it and cover the charges since he felt that he ruined my Buy It now. That's what I get for not just selling it earlier =/

Ill be keeping mine for the long haul. I love puzzle and mini games so Mr Driller, Zookeeper, FTM and Wario Ware keep me busy. Im also really looking forward to Animal Crossing and Advance Wars DS.

My advice, never trade a new system during its lifespan. There might be the off chance that a future game will entice you back.

Keeping mine. It will become my #2 handheld, but I'm optomistic that future games will get better.

Keeping the DS. I have 7 games already. Picked up Yoshi's Touch and Go yesterday, its a fun title but seems more like a awesome mini game than a full title. Oh well, atleast it is innovative as hell!

I sold my DS after getting my PSP. I may pick up a black one if the colored DS comes stateside and there is a price drop.

Ive played the DS, before buying the PSP I had my eye on the DS. I don't really like it that much the touch screen is good but everything else doesn't live up to the psp standard in my opinion.

I have both. There will be good games for both systems down the line. The PSP is even lacking a bit right now in terms of NEW games. The DS will have Zelda, Castlevania, New Super Mario Bros. among others!
