PSP.

although I have to point out that the PSP has a much more in-depth hacking community, which contributed to its sales somewhat.

This needs an update, the iPod Touch/iPhone is now a serious handheld gaming device. With the PSP Go, and the Zune HD coming out later this year, this thread is outdated.

Speaking of which, I can't stand the Nintendo DS. If I were to get a machine for gaming primarily, the PSP 3000 would be my choice. However, I ended up going with the iPod Touch for its web browsing features, and the App Store.

I like my games on a disc, but otherwise I like to be able to download other apps via a streaming service. While the DSi fits the bill, I don't like the aesthetics. Furthermore, I find myself drawn more so to the games on the PSP handheld. That and the PSP's "slightly" better media features.

While the Wii, and X-Box 360 also fit the bill, neither are portable. Aside from that, and the X-Box's poor reliability, and the Wii's lack of DVD, or MP3 playback, either would be fine for me.

Feel sorry for whoever only has a gameboy.

Why? There are plenty of amazing games for the gameboy like:
Tetris, Pokemon, Super Mario Land, Metroid 2, Zelda Link's awakening, Oracle of Seasons, Oracle of Ages, Street Fighter, Final Fantasy, R-Type, etc.
So I don't see any reason to feel sorry for that person who probably doesn't exist

I usually switch between my GBA SP, DS Lite or my PSP depending on what game I play.

Usually it's the GBA SP for classic games, DS Lite for short entertaining games, and my PSP for flashy and fancy new games.

Just saying, the DS can pay GBA games too.

Yeah, but those are not the classics. Well, a couple are.

I think Polska was talking about the B&W/Color Gameboy games, which are compatible with the GBA/GBA SP, but not the DS.

Games such as Mario Land, or Jurrasic Park, etc...

Yep, Monster_user is right. I have my SP for Gameboy color games mostly.
