PSP or DS

1Up just published an interesting story charting the launch and growth of the Ds and Playstation Portable. I just finished writing up a series of game reviews for DS and PSP titles for the Rocky, so I've been thinking about the two handhelds a lot lately.

While I've talked a lot about my perceptions of both systems in the past, the bottom line really should be the games.

Here's my list of favorite titles for both systems (in no particular order):

PSP
Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror
Virtua Tennis
Socom Fireteam Bravo
Daxter
Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories
PQ
Lumines
Exit
Me and My Katamari

DS
Metroid Prime Hunters DS
Tetris DS
Super Princess Peach
Mario Kart DS
Advanced Wars Dual Strike
Meteos
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
Trauma Center: Under the Knife
Brain Age

That's pretty much off the top of my head, so I may have left off a few. The thing is, that while I really do like some of those PSP titles, they tend not to be as fun to play as their DS competitors. What's your take?
