Topic: DSiWare vs. PSP Minis

Posts 1 to 13 of 13

So on October 1, the DSi's main competitor, the PSP Go (styled as PSPgo) will be released to the public for MSRP $249.99. The PSP Minis service (for both PSPgo and PSP-3000) will obviously be seen as DSiWare's competitor in the gaming industry. My question is simply which service would appeal more to you (and why?)

Discuss below and we'll see where this goes!

I hope DSiWare picks up with the competition. I think both services have a heck of a lot of potential. I'm curious to see how many games we see on BOTH services.

In truth, the much larger installed user base of DSi systems makes the DSiWare service a more attractive offer for developers. That might hurt the PSP Minis service a little.

I like actual cards/UMDs better, but I'll say DSiWare because it's Nintendo games.

PSPMinis will depend on pricing and how often games are released.
If they are as slow as DSiWare I don't think they will be very popular, but if they are release at a much faster rate (not iphone fast) then it will probably be better then DSiWare...Not that it's hard to beat DSiWare when it comes to quantity and quality.

The PSPminis can never compete with DSiWares. The clocks and calculators are too powerful.

What if the PSP Go got a God of War clock?

LOL I would totally buy that! Especially if at every hour he tore a monster to shreds or had off screen sex with 3 women.

I thought the PSP was already getting it's own digitally distributed games. I'm all for it. Since the PSP already offers FREE demoes (so Sony won't have that $5 demo crap) and has a larger storage capacity that the DSi (I think), it should lead to better games than the DSi, truth be told (I hope).

Sony's games (in my opinion) have never been the best gameplay-wise, whereas Nintendo's games have been very fun and creative, yet they don't have the best graphics. I even thought Mario Clock was fun (played it for hours) The psp mini has a storage solution. The dsi... Does not if we got a storage solution for bigger games on dsiware, we might get something like the psp mini's download center and ds games would be avalible through dsi shop along with a virtual handheld (maybe)
Let us hope.

@Hardy83 K then.... So if they make clocks, they get the upper hand by adding mature content...

Yes because these clocks are made for "core" gamers. They aren't clocks made for kids, so people will be more attracted to it in the long run and review sites will give them a higher score.

... LOL
