In NA, November+December sales were down by 150,000 units or about 10%, which isn't terrible. I do agree that successful system sales ought to increase every year, but the drop in sales isn't enough to say the PSP is unsuccessful (especially considering Jan+Feb sales are up by 50,000). Basically, the PSP is in an in between stage where we can't tell at all what the future will hold; it is simply doing OKAY. I think a few easily implementable improvements will give it some solid momentum that will make sales "successful." Certainly improvements wouldn't hurt the system.
The word was unhealthy, not unsuccessful. And I'd say that annual declines after launch is unhealthy. Oh sure it is possible for things to change. But it's not that likely for a system to turn its sales around that far into the game.
P.S. I'm not saying that out of researched proof, but out of pure assumption, so if you can think of a case, you will have effectively put me in my place. 
P.P.S. And if your example is the DS's sales... It might not be a good idea to use the PSP's main competition as an example.
I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do.
Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.
Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!
Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.
