Nintendo DS for me. Unfortunately they aren't as sturdy as past Nintendo handhelds. The hinge flew off my first DS after one year and I had to buy another one. If this one breaks down, it's over. I'm done with Nintendo.

rly? I've had good record with Nintendo products (of all kinds) on durability. Especially Gamecube products.
My DSi feels like I could drop it on concrete and it would still work properly. I'm not sure how much of that has to do with it being a DSi instead of a DS though. I've never handled an original DS or DS lite.
I am not prostrate. I am looking at the sky on the other side of Earth.

I have both PSP and DS, I only played 2 game on the psp and 2 on the DS.
PSP Games played: GTA Vice City Stories and Final Fantasy Tactics: War of Lions
DS Games played: Time Hollows and Hotel Dusk: Room 215
(Awesome games, especially Hotel Dusk, simply blew me away).
I've got a whole list of games for them both, but can't be bothered playing any of them. (yes, even Pheonix Rights) .
Currently, I don't use both consoles. My White DS still looks brand new because I rarely touch it.
And my PSP is favoured by my mum who plays bomberman on it.

I have a PSP and DS, and only ever play disgaea 1-2 (on psp), future cop lapd (PSX game) on psp, and the Xcom series (on dosbox 😛 sp).

The same thing happened to my first DS O_O!

Out of all my consoles, I prefer the DS the most..I guess.
Because the games are a lot cheaper than the others. 🤣
And they're just as fun.

I've had a DS Lite for a while. I like that it has "handheld games" that are fun to play for short periods of time, like Picross, but also some full length games, like The World Ends With You or Hotel Dusk which has been mentioned already. I hadn't played anything on my DS for a while until a couple weeks back when Love Plus came out. Now I'm playing it every day.
I got a PSP Go a week or so ago and so far I'm using it mostly as a portable media player. I put music and videos on it, but when I'm at home I can plug it into my TV and can even sync my Playstation 3 controller with it, making it basically like a real console, except way cuter and smaller.
If I had to choose just one, it would be a very difficult decision to make. In fact I probably couldn't choose. I need them both! Good thing I usually wear cargo pants.
