Both NDS and PSP have similar time to market, but the simulation results are very different, why

Because the hardware performance is very different, the CPU is 333MHz to 66MHz, the memory is 64M (PSP2000) to 4M (NDSL), the polygon generation capacity is 35 million to 120,000, and the pixel fill rate is 100 million to 30 million. But emulators don't determine the survival of the console, after all, it's a simulation of the previous model, not an original new game. In terms of original gameplay, there are many games such as action and racing on PSP, and many games such as RPG and puzzle on NDSL.

Because the function of NDS is relatively poor. The worse the function and the simpler the structure, the easier it is to simulate, such as GBA

Comparing the functions of the two, it is clear to see the effect of 3D games of NDS and PSP.

Mainly linked to software, machines, **, functions are just the basic cards of the competition between the two companies, and the game software is the final trump card, so the two need different development directions, so that there is the problem you mentioned.

To give you the simplest analogy, if there is a Ferrari trot that goes on sale in January next year, there will be a gold cup of bread at the same time. The Ferrari trot and the gold cup bread have been on the market for about the same time, but the difference is huge, why?

There is a question about whether PSP has an emulator and I am really dizzy.

And what's wrong with the 3D effect on the 2nd floor What about poor skills How many PSP sales The game has a few million-level really dizzy.

NDS has poor performance. The worse the function.

Of course, game companies are different, and game clarity is different.

First of all, the sales problem: NDS is produced by Nintendo, a company specializing in games, and NDS proposes that it can be played by all ages, and what kind of "gameplay" is emphasized, and at the same time, there are many game manufacturers who develop games for Nintendo (the original handheld is basically Nintendo's dominance!). GB Series:

Gameboy(GB) GameboyColor(GBC) GameboyAdvance(GBA)), it's selling very well, isn't it? The main reason is that the copyright of the game is not authorized, if the developer develops the game, it is infringement! For example, there will never be a Nintendo game on PSP (the Fire Emblem series is a super classic game, I'm sure LZ knows it!).

The main reason is that NDS games are cheap to develop but highly profitable! It's a cycle! The more games sold on the machine, the more developers will join in to develop NDS games!

And PSP is a handheld game device produced by an international comprehensive company, used to compete with Nintendo, PSP is an attempt after all! There are fewer games, but now there are more and more games! I believe there will be more in the future!

The second is the performance issue: as mentioned earlier, the gameplay proposed by NDS is of course good, but it is not better to be able to make a satisfying game without too high performance! (The performance of the NDS machine is not as high as the PSP, whether it is the main frequency or memory, the processor, etc. (The performance of the NDS machine is not as high as the PSP, whether it is the main frequency or memory, the processor, etc.) There are many more N control and Sony control on the Internet, and the personal is aimed at the game rather than the game console!

NDS: If you don't want to buy a machine and spend money, you can simulate it on the computer! After all, it's a very mature simulator (basic full speed and larger graphics, and you can carry it to play if you buy NDS!) this advantage).

NDS can be touchscreened, I guess that's it.

You ignore the number upstairs......

This is a complicated question, so I'll give you as much as I can explain it briefly......Things also have to start with the console war. Back then, PS dealt a serious blow to Nintendo's console market through the leading CD storage medium, bringing down Nintendo's dominance back then. In the PS2 era, Nintendo's NGC was more functional, but NGC, which stuck to the cassette storage medium, once again lost to the PS2 due to the storage medium problem (the storage medium of the PS2 is ***).

At the height of Sony's heyday, Sony made a decision: to enter the handheld business. Based on the experience of PS, PS2, Sony opted for an advanced storage medium:

umd（。At this time, Nintendo, with the support of the GB series, realized that if they fought with Sony again, they would definitely die. As a result, Nintendo launched the "Blue Ocean Project" and launched a new handheld:

DS Series and New Console: Wii. Among them, the storage medium of the DS series is cassette (2GB-4GB, that is, 256MB-512MB), and the Wii is ***.

From storage media to functions, Nintendo is not as good as Sony. It looks like Sony is going to lose again.

However, this time it was Sony who lost. Although PSP is powerful, the overall quality of PSP's games is also significantly higher than that of the DS series (as can be seen from the ratings of the games on the two platforms). The reason why Sony failed was that it was too much in pursuit of technology.

DS series of handhelds,The biggest feature is the touch screen,And the first Nintendo shows the special value of the touch screen of DS through a variety of powerful works,These works may not be as good as PSP works in terms of picture,The connotation may not be as good as PSP works,However, DS works were not intended to fight these with PSP works - DS works chose the road of "light games",Exited from the high-rest and highly creative led by Nintengu,Games that perfectly combine touch screen functions,Very playable, It fully demonstrates the unique value of the DS series handheld and has a great attraction to players. However, PSP, in the early days, many of them were degraded versions of some console games, remastered versions or remakes of old games, although classic, but did not show the unique value of PSP - in other words, at the beginning, in the eyes of people, PSP was just an inferior PS2, seriously unattractive, especially in Europe and the United States, PSP lost across the board. Knowing that Monster Hunter is on the scene, the online value of PSP is shown, which makes PSP successfully turn over and its sales soar.

However, it was too late, the gap between PSP's sales and NDS was already too large, and Monster Hunter lacked influence in Europe and the United States. As a result, PSP can only surpass the DS series in Region 11. All these mistakes by Sony have resulted in PSP sales being only half of the DS series.

By the way, the sales volume of PSP in China is also higher than that of the DS series).

That's all there is to it. I've tried to keep it as brief as possible......

The gameplay of NDS is many times stronger than PSP. It can be said that PSP only tests its game screen, and there are not many that are really game-rich. And NDS, how many of the above classics?

Japan's national RPG game DQ4569 has all of them, two The Legend of Zelda, a legendary series, and a classic FF. A lot of classics are on NDS. If you want to talk about PSP, you can't achieve much if you rely on graphics alone.

PSP can also be simulated now, but the most important point is that NDS faces a wide range of customers Many games in PSP are large-scale 3D action games The audience is only some male high-end players NDS games are mainly 2D There is no shortage of masterpieces There are many exquisite and small cheap games There are also many games sold by NDS Not that PSP can sell well with high performance Everyone buys game consoles for games.

The performance of NDS is poor but the gameplay of the game is good, and many big games are more on NDS (just because of the large sales), although the computer can simulate most of the NDS games, but the effect is not good, and most of the world's handheld buyers are to play games, so NDS is chosen.

Lao Ren's game consoles are real game consoles, and many of the games of NDS are very creative, very high playability, very popular with people, suitable for all ages, PSP is basically not well-known in foreign countries, only in China is good to sell, and the game with high gameplay will be bought, the game with a good picture is not necessarily a good game, foreigners play games do not pay attention to the picture, focus on the gameplay, in China there are not many people who really play DS, and buy PSP more, this is because of the satisfaction of people's vanity, A lot of works on PSP are mainly reproduced or transplanted, and DS is basically not, although the picture is not good, it can also be simulated by computer, but computer simulation does not have the feeling of playing on a physical machine, so NDS sales are much more than PSP.

There is also a wide age range of NDS, there are all kinds of games, the elderly and children can play, and most of the age range of PSP is in the young age range.
