Shimra, they did on the gamecube.

@3, graphics dont matter its about gameplay, and the gameplay to those old games by todays standards stinks.

"If PSP sales are over 25-ish million with DS sales over 36-ish million. I think that's a damned impressive ratio, and I don't think PSP sales have flagged significantly in the face of rising DS sales. If anything, it's recently demonstrated software sales life, even in Japan. One has to reason that the PSP has carved out a good niche and is plodding ahead at least partly outside the sphere of DS market influence. Smash hit? No, but if anything, the DS is competing most directly with the GBA, not the PSP."

actually according to vgcharts:
http://www.vgcharts.org

its only like 20 million to ds having 40 million and the gap will probably widen esp after pokemon comes out here.

ff tactics and ff 1 and 2 are ports.

I know they got good reviews and are god game sbut almost all of them were ported to other consoles and loco roco was ported to a freaking sony cell phone, cause no one bought them.

pirates and worms are ports though.

IT WONT, psp pwners dont want original or 2d games. Look at how bad loco roco, every extent extra, lumanites, exit, megaman powered up all did vs ea games and racing games. psp oners have already spoken about what kinds of games they want.

this guy knows what hes talking about:

"Can you give me 10 games over and above Lumines and LocoRoco that is any good that I can't get on the PS2? (Which Lumines is coming to PS2 anyway, but I'll give that to the PSP as it started life there) Daxter, is alright, but not the best in the world... that's for sure.

Also, I have played nearly on each and every console and handheld out there and unfortunately the PSP is on of the weakest systems I have ever played on. Not power, rather software library. Most of the PSP games I enjoy on the PS2... so why invest?

Check here: http://www.rebound.co.za and see what myself and 3 other mates do in South Africa free of charge for the gaming community, which is more than I can say of you (or do you have something beneficial to the gaming community you can show me?)

I'm not trying to brag, but just proving a point. I own many different consoles and judge them all individually. The PSP should have been much more. I'm sure the follow up to the PSP will be better, but right now, I do not like it. Our tournaments ended up a flop with the PSP and a hit with the DS because of a simple thing like "Gamesharing". Pitty. I do not have a problem with Sony, rather the PSP itself."

if you go to the sega forum they all disagree. infact here are some quotes form some of the threads on the psp section there:

http://boards2.sega.com/sega_board/viewtopic.php?t=68737&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=15

"At least SEGA left us in the console department with an awesome console... which is most definitly not something I can say for the PSP (Had 2 sold both... got lots of DS games!)"

"Why doesn't Sega release a DC collection on the PSP? Simple, because they want somebody to play it."

"PWNAGE. Laughing"

"o, the PS2 actually HAS decent games, while the PSP has, what, seven good games and literally two hundred crappy ones?

There's a reason why the DS is totally outselling the PSP."

"And the PSP's analog stick SUCKS. And the fact that most of the games ON the PSP are PS2 ports."

"Name the PSP games that match FFIII, Rocket Slime, NSMB, Advance Wars Dual Strike, Tetris DS, Castlevania Portrait of Ruin, Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow, Lunar Knights, Mario Kart DS, etc, etc, etc. Also, I can't believe you would say that the DS has sequels made by less talented teams than the origionals were, what do you call almost the entire PSP lineup? Dumbed down GTA, dumbed down Jak, dumbed down Syphon Filter, dumbed down MGS. I think I've made my point."

"I'm with Nate on this one. The DS is by far the better handheld system, and I'm not going to try explain myself... actually I should.

The sales tell you that everyone is loving the DS. Secondly, you will most probably never play games like Pheonix Wright Ace Attorney as the graphics ain't good enough for you and because it is cell shaded will be seen as kiddy to you, pitty. As the touch screen, mic and 2 screen come into their own. That's just one game from Capcom... a very respected publisher in the business.

I had 2 PSP's (one for me and my wife) sold both and bought a load of DS games, the only games on the PSP that was any good to me was LocoRoco and Lumines. Graphics is something of the past. It's all about the ammount of fun one has these days and Nintendo has it spot on. I wish SEGA never left the console business as the Dreamcast was just the start of an awesome thing (Till Sony's lies about the PS2 helped it go under.)

Anyway, the PSP is the "WALKMAN" of the 21st century... as it is most definitly not worthy of a games handheld console."

and this is from just one thread, do I have to go on? btw I was using the name psplover there so if I didnt post there nobody there would like the psp or pretend to defend it.

and unlike the psp the ds dragon quest 9 will be on ds only :)
