Lmao there are NO DS games that look better than what a PSP could do.

It's not about what a PSP *could* do, it was about what a PSP actually did. They produced a lot of low-end ps1 quality titles which looked like shit even compared to the DS's more N64 standard.

Look at both hand-held Assassin's Creed games that came out around the same time. The DS version looks like a creepy N64 game, and the PSP version looks like a early-to-mid era PS2 game.

Overlooking that the two weren't even designed the same, lolwut? The PSP AssCreed looks like a mid-era ps1 game.

The problem with the DS version is that they didn't bother putting any effort into it. As a result, it looked like some GBA games but that's completely the fault of the developer. If your point was that a developer could do a half-assed job, you've made your point. However, even DS games which came out before it looked better than that. And most PSP games looked strictly worse than the PSP version. And that's not even counting issues like load-time. The PSP was a conceptual nightmare. It failed to keep a customer base despite strong third-party support because it was poorly designed.
