Revelade, Nintendo themselves have stated they target specifically to children under the age of 12.
This is not true. If you can find an official quote, link me up because as far as I've heard, they have said they try to target all audiences.

Yeah but can you watch movies or videos when you're nowhere near a TV/Monitor let alone DVD player?
Yeah, and I don't need discs either.

No it's not. Actually I was wrong, the thing has closer to 5 hours of battery life, I tested it yesterday because 3 1/2 sounded wrong (that and I had to work on a map). If I'm running an emulator then it would take up much less, probably giving me up to 6-7 hours. Most likely even more if I'm listening to music because I can have the screen turn off.
Seriously though, who is going to spend more than 10 hours outside of their house or away from a power source playing this thing? I've never managed that.

When you're on a plane going to china that takes 10 hours long. (like me in about 3 days :/ )

Bull chrapé* , it's obvious they target to children and I shouldn't have to prove that to anyone.

You do if you're watching them at the resolutions he stated, read his post to find out what I'm talking about instead of ignoring everything going on.

Right and I'm going to China ... when? I wont ever need 10 hours of battery life. And if I will I'll just buy a new batter or one of the extenders which range from $20-40 - pretty cheap.
I'm not trying to say PSP is better, I'm trying to say I like it more. You guys are posting all these arguements like it matters.
*WTF? that word is censored too? Is Yoshi trying to make this site 4 year old friendly or something?

Obvious is not always the truth.

I wish I had the name chu, someone stole it from me when I let it sit there too long not playing starcraft at all.

I didn't even say ANYTHING about graphics. Why? Because I don't care. For me, flicking a stick up and down on a screen isn't "innovation" it's a thing called "stupid". How fun can hours of monotonous, mechanical hand movements with the only gratification being a high score be? Oh yeah... not at all. I'd rather have my hands stapled together then play something that sells solely on a "touch screen".
Hey, you want to know what else utilizes a touch screen? The self serve checkout lines at Walmart. It's not innovative to use a touch screen, I know they've been around for atleast five years.
If you're playing games for 12 hours straight, there's something wrong with you. I think the PSP would be best with an hour life of five hours, and some kind of cover.

As I said before, there are games where you do NOT have to use the touch screen at all. If you don't want to use the touch screen, buy games that don't USE it. I wonder how hard that is to understand. In other words, you aren't FORCED to use the touch screen.
Next, it's humorous how you assume everyone here plays 12 hours STRAIGHT. We take breaks, or maybe we are off somewhere where there is no electricity available.
Finally, there are other innovations such as dual screens, a microphone and fold design, which protects both screen.
As for my opinion, I didn't buy the DS, mainly because it is portable. I bought it because I wanted to try new gaming concepts that utilize touch screen and microphone technology. I wanted to see what kind of games would churn out. So far, I'm not impressed, but at least there are efforts. We will see in the future.

I dont really like the fold design myself because it tends to make the console take up more depth room (another example is the SP) making it harder to slip into my pocket. The microphone I dont see as being very useful and touch screen I don't think is implemented well. I tried out every game my friend had that utilized them and the only one I liked was Metroid Prime Hunters, and even then it was very difficult to use the touch screen as an aiming and firing system because of the way the console was made - my hand felt strained much of the time and eventually cramped up.

Well everyone have their own opinions about if u like DS or PSP. Its obvious that the PSP is better in graphics, capability etc. but DS has More battery life, and a touch screen for controls. Basically they have their upsides and downsides.

Yea I heard about that lol.
I guess I exaggerated on the 12 hours straight, it's more like my comp is on 12 hours a day, but I'm not playing starcraf the whole, it's more like I'm sitting next to my comp most of the time, afk every once in a while, then when I see something going on in the channel I investigate it, and sometimes game.
