It's very true that the PSP has pretty much the worst attach rate of any significant system in recent memory and possibly ever. Piracy and the fact it's a multimedia device are part of it, but I think the big reason is one that's not really talked about here. The people who are buying the PSP are not dedicated portable gamers. They still play their PS2 a lot more than their newer PSP. And when it's time to buy GTA, or Madden, or whatever other game is available for both systems these people owning both a PS2 and PSP are probably 5 to 1 taking the PS2 version. For the DS games are cheaper, as they should be on handhelds, and the big games are really all exclusive to the system, and thus you get a significantly higher attach rate despite many gamers being much less hardcore than the typical PSP gamer.
