Oh, I forgot to say the main critical flaw of the DS was shoehorned touch screen mechanics i.e. the magic seals in Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow is the first example that comes to mind.

Agreed.  Big N seemed to learn their lesson eventually, as I don’t think there are that many 3DS games where it is an issue.

Love the PSP. Never played DS. If I ever run into DS in the wild, sure I'll pick it up. I heard there some decent games for it.
pizzasafari:
As hardware, neither for me. Really not a fan of the things. PSP is clunky and noisy and hard to use, DS is similarly clunky and uncomfortable, the stylus controls are an annoying gimmick that ruined nearly every game they were shoehorned into and the dual screens I find distracting. I feel pretty much the same way about the 3DS though it at least has bigger screens.

In terms of games, DS by a landslide. Mainly because of 9 Hours 9 Persons 9 Doors.
betelgeuse:
I don’t really play too many handhelds. I only have the original PSP and the DS.
That analog stick on the PSP use to hurt my thumb after a half hour or so. I didn’t care for the gimmicky features on the DS like drawing paterns with the stylus in Castlevania or actually blowing out candles in Zelda.
