Clearly the PSP has performed extremely strongly in its short time on sale, but during Christmas that is to be expected and the resolve of the Nintendo DS is superb indeed. The question is, who has the better Q1 / Q2 line-up in Europe? Many would say the DS definitely, especially with the likely release of the DS Lite in time for Summer at the latest.

But what are your thoughts on the matter? Let us know below...
