Well, if people here attended E3 this year, they very well may have tried the DS. The PSP on the other hand, well, wasn't playable for many people there. Sony liked the idea of showing no games up and running on the floor, and keeping several units behind glass playing movies.

I personally didn't have time to play the DS, had too many things to take care of. The general impression I ght from my friend though was that it was very innovative for how it used different control inputs. Hard to say if this will sell or not, but I do give Nintendo credit for trying something new.
