The point is to be satisfied with what you have, no matter which one it is. I only have a DS and I'm quite content with it. If you're happy with your PSP, good for you. There's no point in bickering like fanboys over it.
If you're happy with both, well you're a rich little snot and I envy you.
Don't forget the competition. When the NES came out, it had virtually no competition. Then came the era of SNES vs. Sega, then it was N64 vs. PS.
But now the competition splits three ways: N vs. S vs. MS. In other words, people have more choices as to where they're going to put their money, and adding one more person to the party means less food for everyone.
Also, overall hardware sales for game consoles have been declining within the past year, and that's bad news for all the companies.
I don't see what correlation there is in comparing the DS with the old Gameboy. Of course its sals aren't on par...it's only been out barely a year. As you said, it is too early how the "long run" will be, but there isn't even a short run yet. But it looks like the DS is going to win in Japan, at the very least.
"The health threat involved with kids playing such games is equivalent to smoking cigarettes."
Unvaringly, every seven seconds, someone dies of lung cancer because they played violent video games.
What really saddens me is the fact that something like this actually had to come into politics. Sure it might help parents, but the fact that parents need help being parents frightens me.
If it helps, it helps. Fine. But if it doesn't help, obviously ratings weren't the problem.

...and I'm sure little kids would just LOVE getting their picture taken with Grues. :P
Regardless, I doubt either the Xbox or the Gamecube have spread further apart from each other in sales.
I agree, who cares?
