Yup, really, They'll be plenty more games like that considering how well the first lot have sold. As far as I know two more are due ths year, one of them around about March called The Professor's Brain Trainer: Memory.

Slightly more expensive but far better quality and features than what you get with the DS.
If you do a good search on google you'll find the cheapest psp available, especially now in the sales.

Not true actually, some do most don't though.
Also I'd advise against getting one unless you want to be charging it up everytime you use it. Secondly piracy is absolutely killing the machine, they'll be no games out for it by this time next year because it will be dead or next to dead by then, not to mention it takes an age to load the damn thing. When your nearest rival outsells your console 7 to 1 then people should know what time it is. There is already talk of a PSP 2 since Sony already know they messed up big time on this one.
The DS is the biggest selling console out there, out selling even the PS3, XBOX 360 and PSP put together, why do you think they're always out of stock, especially in the USA and Japan.
The PSP has better graphics and that it, the DS has more games and a better variety of them which are actually fun, and that are not rehashes of PS1 and PS2 games.
According to a survey from Famitsu, the Nintendo DS has pretty much tramped over the PSP in 2006 in Japan. The DS and DS Lite sold an impressive 7,5 million units so far this year, while the PSP managed to sell 1,6 million units. On the software side, DS games sold over 27 million copies this year, compared to only 2,8 million PSP games. The difference is smaller in the US and Europe, but the DS still remains on top by a good margin. IGN.
Karl Jeffery, the CEO of Climax (developer of ATV Offroad Fury), has made known his worries surrounding the current performance of the PSP. He is worried that the Nintendo DS is trouncing the PSP and that Sony is doing very little to rectify this situation. In an interview with GamesIndustry.biz, Jeffery
Companies are releasing their quarterly earnings these days, and that includes Sony and Nintendo as well. Sony has announced a 94% drop in profits in Q2 2006, due to the large battery recall (almost 10 million batteries recalled over the past few months) and the expensive PlayStation 3 manufacturing process.
Nintendo on the other hand, saw profits triple in Q2 2006, mainly driven by strong Nintendo DS hardware and softwares sales. Over 10 million DS consoles were sold from April-September 2006, compared to 3,5 million last year. Both companies will release their highly anticipated next-gen consoles within a month, so things can still change for both sides. (Reuters)
Since its launch in March 2005, the Nintendo DS has sold over 7 million units in Europe, with six games selling over a million copies, including New Super Mario Bros, Animal Crossing, and Mario Kart DS. The top selling title is the same as in Japan and the US, Brain Training, selling over 5 million copies worldwide. Perhaps the most interesting statistic is that 44% of DS owners are women, an impressive number for any videogame company.
It's pretty much finished, and the most popular game in Japanese history hasn't even come out on the DS yet, which it will soon. If you want a console that will have more games on it that you will like then I'd go for the DS. If you want a console that will be dead or replaced within two years then get a PSP, or save yourself the hassle and get the cheaper PS2 which loads faster has cheaper games and is cheaper than the handheld version that is supposed to imitate it.

I would go with the DS Lite opposed to the PSP. They games on the PSP are very male focussed and as far as I know the 'brain games' are mainly on th DS Lite anyway.
I have the Dr Kawashima's Brain Training: How Old Is Your Brain? and I feel this 'game' makes the price of the DS worth it on it own. You can spend as little as 5 mins or hours on it, and you definately won't get bored with it after a while. Ive had it for a few weeks now, and i'm on it every day training my old brain (from a shameful 64yrs old to a current age 27 years old - 20years being ideal)
There are a couple of others coming out in 2007: The Professors Brain Trainer: Logic, and The Professors Brain Trainer: Memory
Good Luck

Got both. The DS absolutely destroys the PSP. Not only are the loading times ridicuolous on the PSP, but the games are mostly quite poor.
The DS is fun to use and play.
Get it.

Even if it's not it doesn't make any sense anyway. I have both myself, I don't know where one is, nor care much really.
Besides to get the most of out the PSP features, which for the most part involves breaking various copyright laws you'll need to spend more on a bigger memory for it.
The PSP is only worth it if you don't intend to ahem buy any games.

The talk about a PSP2 is just rumours. I've read up about it and they said its release is very unlikely to occur anytime soon. I remember when they were talking of a Playstation 3 back in 2002 so there ya have it.

But wasn't that only if you bought the Japanese version? Anyways I'm sure they cracked down on that ages ago.

Originally yes, but all can be cracked now. Sony recently released a PS1 emu for the PSP and that got cracked the next day, so people are now downloading PS1 games off the net and putting them on their memory cards, instead of downloading them via the Sony PS3.
Sony try to crack down on it by releasing fairly regular fireware updates, but they get cracked sooner than later, normally within a few weeks.

| I been toying with the idea of getting a DS myself. I bought my boyfrind a PSP for his birthday in the summer and he loves it but I deffinately think its more male orientated. Besides , I've loved Mario Bro's since I was little- it makes sense to get a DS!

| Soulsister: I have the Mario Bros along with the a brain training game. Use to have Mario Bros when I was a child aswell, and its pretty much the same, absoultely love it.... Definately get DS. PSP is very male orientated. My dad brought my sister a PSP and I found it so difficult to find many games for her. Ended up only getting 2 games and loads of DVDs.... Get the DS, brain game AND mario bros (for the child in you!)

Actually I agree with Prince Hakeem now. Just updated my PSP with hacked firmware. Now I can play most of my Ps1 games on my PSP.
