Nice idea, but mvass has given it a rest...
Playstation Portable
Ninetendo Dual Screen

PSP/DS (Wipeout Pure/GTA/Final Fantasy vs Super Mario Bros./Metroid Prime/Wario Ware Touched) Pretty equal. More kids games on DS whereas there is more mature games on PSP)
CONTROLS
DS>>>PSP (Joystick vs. Touch Screen)
FEATURES
PSP>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>DS (Music/Video/Internet Access/Add ons vs Pictochat/Calendar/Organizer)
LOOKS
PSP>>>>DS (Black with Silver vs. Plain Silver)
GRAPHICS
PSP>>>>>>>>>>DS
OVERALL
PSP>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>DS (However it depends on the audience. Kids might prefer DS games)

IMHO I think that Xbox will overshadow the PS2 anyday, but its your decision here members, you may decide what console is the best.
But XBOX WILL RULE ANYDAY IMO!!!
EDIT: Here is the Gamecube, as some people may think that GC is better than ps2 and Xbox but yeah.
Here is the picture and its stats:
Gamecube

Xbox owns all the competition of it's era, being the latest released of the generation.
XBOX 360 is the first of the next gen, and who knows what will be the best.

Well Xbox rules the competition because it has one thing that all the other consoles do not have.
Thats DirectX, which is microsoft made, and is therefore implemented into Xbox which is Microsoft.
PS2 is developed by Sony and Gamecube by Nintendo and both of these major league companies do not have DirectX.
Thats the major downside to Gamecube and PS2 because they do not have as good graphics as Xbox has.

OK.. about william's post on Xbox360 vs. PS2
Controllers
PS2>>>XBox360
Games available
PS2>>>>XBox360
Compactability
PS2>>>>Xbox360
I don't care about better graphics, and I think it's a downside that microsoft made XBox since i'm sure it has more bugs than any other consule.

Yes, but can N64 have FMVs like the PS1? Didn't think so.

I have never had any controller of any console break. As for the N64 controller, it's simply stupidly designed (IMO).

I already posted about Xbox vs ps2 vs Gamecube, what was the point in reposting it 
Anyway Xbox is stil the better in this competition, mainly because of the "newness" of it, and its being newer than ps2 and gamecube, and the graphics with xbox is very very good.

Graphics aren't everything.
Wait, I need to clarify that.
GRAPHICS AREN'T EVERYTHING! The gameplay of the games is more important. How are you supposed to play a game with great graphics with a sucky controller?
