Build & Stability PSP
Not to denigrate it as a fragile console, but the PSP does tend to get easily smudged. And its big screen is not very fall-friendly, which is why the hand strap is recommended as a must-have. If you use it with common sense, this one will last you for years to come.
Nintendo DS Lite
The most delicate part of the DS is the touchscreen, which is easy to scratch with a little stylus-rage. But once you have the screen protector in place, the clamshell design makes the console immune to quite a bit of stress.
GBA
Hah, this little baby would probably outlast you!
Conclusion
Thankfully the decision here is a lot easier than with home consoles. PSP is a great portable companion if you love what you get on home consoles and don’t mind similar type of games on the road. It’s also a great media player, just as long as you don’t run out of memory sticks.
The DS is a fuss-free all-out gaming console. The fresh and exclusive titles on it are constantly breaking the norms to provide you with gaming experiences that will give you a break from your home consoles. Its 10-hour battery life will ensure that you get enough gaming till you hit another electrical socket.
As I have mentioned throughout the article, there’s no reason to go for the GBA today unless you’re on a tight budget. The games are fun and aplenty, but the visuals do leave a bit to be desired. When it comes to gameplay, it’s definitely an upgrade from mobile gaming for sure.
