ds does have a stronger library in terms of popular franchises and the overall sheer number of great games it contains. psp is great for the players that desire various multimedia freedoms as well as games that are visually impressive and geared towards a generally older demographic than that of the ds. final fantasy tactics, locoroco, castlevania chronicles, god of war, patapon, tekken/soul calibur, and metal gear solid are games the ds cannot match.

Also, I owned a PSP for the better part of a year. Sure it's better visually than the DS, I'll give you that, but it's nothing compared to an X360 or PS3 on a 42" widescreen HDTV. THAT is breathtaking.
It's not ignorance to have opinions and preferences, especially when I've actually sampled most of what you claim I haven't.

I never wanted to argue, I was just stating my opinion. It seems like other people enjoy trying to prove my opinions wrong and dragging me into arguments about them >_<.
Main flaw: not really any reason to use it other than sheer portability (every one of the good games PSP has would be/are much better on console except for locoroco, and I assume we're ignoring that since you want to cast PSP as the srs gamer handheld).
DS=TONS of games, and quite a few really, really good games that make a lot of sense to be on a handheld, and would not really benefit from being on a console (which is better).
im not trying to argue either, and i certainly didnt mean to slam you in any way by saying you were ignorant on some issues (ok, i said all, and i apologize for that). in truth, i suppose im just curious at the reasoning behind arriving at 'game X that is generally favored by the gaming populace is overrated', which pretty much threw me for a loop.
Ok, Castlevania. One exception doesn't change the overall statement a wee bit.
It's not that the DS games may not have better graphics (which matters zero when it comes to fun), but it's in opposition to the PSP, where they would be a lot better on a console (fighting games especially).
i also prefer psp controls over ds, as they are much more tighter and responsive and also has the analog stick.
Most of the games you named for PSP (which is just about it) are FPS or Fighting. FPS and Fighter games are better on console.
The top games on DS are not FPS or Shooter games, so they play pretty much the same on handheld or console (sometimes better, stylus is way faster for selecting stuff than any controller, WiiMote or otherwise).
Also, your post pretty much confirms what I was saying about the PSP: a lot of its best games are just (understandably) inferior versions of the console games, therefore, all they have going for them is mobility.
