PSP E3 showing compares favorably to DS

The Sony PSP won the battle of best E3 showing by a portable, according to Pocket Gamer columnist Jon Jordan. In a three-part breakdown on the showing for both platforms at E3 2006, the PSP edged out the Nintendo DS in two of the three categories ("Games," "Showfloor Buzz") while it lost by just a point in "Hardware innovation." Jordan had this to say in summary:

"As for PSP, E3 2006 saw it bulking up to fill the gap between the declining PlayStation 2 and what will be the expensive and limited-quantity release of PlayStation 3. It just edges its handheld rival in terms of E3 impact."
