My vote would be the DS Lite. I just picked one up last night using some bday gift cards. I can't put this thing down. My first handheld system was the original GameBoy. They are have come a loooong way. Just how far backwards compatable is the DS Lite? Sounds like it is just GBA and DS games?

How do you figure it's got more potential?

DS Lite if you want to play games.
iPod if you want to watch videos.

PSP if you throw your money in a paper shredder.

They really need to make a Fire Emblem game for the DS.
Edit: And another Advance Wars game.
You are smoking crack. The WiFi Connection games for DS are awesome and wildly popular. MKDS, Metroid, Animal Crossing, Tetris...all multiplayer, all excellent. Not to mention all the other games that have local wireless multiplayer.Originally posted by: AlgaeEater
Since I want to give an honest opinion:
The DS is better if you're playing games alone.
The PSP is better if you have friends who can play games with you.
The reason why PSP collects dust for many people is because outside of all the little things it can do, the games for the system are mainly multiplayer.
Best way I can describe the PSP is like a MMO. Sucks alone, fun with others. The DS on the other hand is a more single player device.
Any argument that the PSP's games are not entirely multiplayer focused are mOOt. They're entirely multiplayer focused. The only single player games that are worth a damn on the system are ports of older games.
Get a DS Lite if you're anti-social like the majority of Anandtech OT. (This is not an insult, it's just like saying don't play a MMO if you really just want to solo all day long)
I endorse the DS Lite because the PSP is boring when they're no one available to play with.
