i wouldn't assume that the psp will win the portable battles from just the superior hardware alone.
don't forget about the gamegear. it was color, better graphics engine and had a tv tuner for the system... yet it made limited inroads against the gameboy. there is a limited market for a $250 dollar portable device... and a large portion of the portable market is skewed towards the younger crowd where 250 is out of price range.
i'm not against sony... but i really would like to see the psp fail, it goes against a lot of what i hope for the game industry. i'm wary of all these convergence devices sony is trying to push. on top of that, it is basically an extention of the regular console platforms... the DS is an attempt at something new and fresh.
