Best handheld/console?

In terms of game selection and popularity, the Xbox 360 pwned this console generation. A testiment to this is the annoucement that FFXIII isn't going to be a Playstation exclusive. Its online Xbox Live is unparalled. Yes, PS3's online is free, but it is no where near as fast as Xbox Live. There's something to be said for a Subscriber service. They have the money to spend on infastructure to keep things going fast.

For handhelds, its the Nintendo DS. The PSP is nice and all, but it doesn't have mario kart.

Sony added the PS game compatibility to the system.

Anyway, I also believe that just because a system didn't have the technology or the sale numbers to be considered great, doesn't mean that it didn't contribute to the large scheme of things. Like Sega Genesis, it couldn't match the game selection or sales of SNES but it introduced Sonic to the world. And Sonic has become quite the game icon. In the end all the systems have something great to offer.

Don’t forget Earth Worm Jim. God that was a fun ass game to play. I have racked up some major hours playing that game all the while giggling at all the silly morbid things. In my opinion, EWJ was the king of Sega genesis. I loved doing the rocket races against Mager Mucus and Psy-crow and hitting the turbo " WWWWOOOOOOOOOO NEEEELLLLY!!!!!"

well i think the best handheld is the PSP!!..its freakin sweet..true its freakin annoying how u have to download certain programs and crap for it but overall its awsome..i like the ps2 honsently as my fav consoler..but makin it portable ..AWSome!!..lol...u can watch movies, listen to music,put photos on it and surf the web..wow..what a cool handheld..its perfect when ur on the run all the time and if u travel,..and just being home if ur parents are naggin u about how ur hoggin the tv and they want to watch some soaps and crap..u always have that..lol

When it comes to best handheld, I would have to go with psp. I know it doesn't have as much rpg games as the nintendo DS, but I have always supported Sony and its gaming systems. So I am still sticking with my support. I mean the graphics are awesome, wi-fi capability is okay (haven't really used that feature), storing video, photos, and music is not too bad either. For example, my current favorite games for psp are Final Fantasy Crisis Core and Patapon. I also am stilling waiting for the Kingdom Heart Birth by Sleep, which I've heard will be released for the psp.

In terms of best gaming console, I would have to go with Xbox 360 because right now there are really a lot of games out for the Playstation 3 compared to the 360. I remember when the Playstation 3 first came out and was kind of pricey. I mean $500. It's great that the price went down, but I waiting for more role playing games to come out. I mean after Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy vs. XIII is released, I might reconsider my view on best gaming console.

you know, he has a point. When a game's popularity trancends all of the platforms' popularity, you know you have a gem.

The best handheld game console would have to be the PSP. It has every thing. U can watch movies, play games and u can buy the ones that has the internet. I wanted to get one which was a Japanese one which was light blue or a red one. It was a lot of money! :D: And, it was at a rip off anime store.. But, anyway, PSP's are 10X better than the Nintendo DS. (even though i have one..) PSP's are waaayy better. :2thumbs:

I agree with all the people who said psp, it has some nice graphics, and you could watch movies or get on the net with it :worship: psp

PSP. Will PSP 3000 be better than teh actual? We will see...
