I've been playing games on my DS lately (inherited it but haven't used it until recently) and it is incredibly different from playing standard console titles. Though that was expected.
The DS, as you know, has the stylus and has six buttons, but while playing any game that used the stylus and the d-pad, I am never sure which is the correct way to hold it. The screen cannot be set to turn a certain way, so the DS must be held upright, but it becomes uncomfortable to hold with just one hand.
The PSP doesn't have that problem because it doesn't have the stylus to deal with, but it is also much less popular than the DS, even with the games it has and its superior graphical systems.
But if the DS, a weaker system, is doing phenomenally better than its competition, will the Wii also have this happen? Chances are that it won't, because like any stationary piece of equipment we expect them to run faster and better and let us sit on our couches and relax. Whether it's a good thing or not is beyond the point, but i've found myself wanting to play on the PS3 instead of the Wii simply because I wanted to kick back and relax.
Back on subject...well, it seems like I've lost the subject, so i'll try it again later.
