The PSP is selling fine for a handheld. The DS is just a freak. I think it was hurt a lot by it's multi-media focus... noone cares. People arn't buying it for those options, they're buying it for the same reason the I-Pod sells. It's easy to use with pirated software. If the PSP ever came out with firmware that couldn't be hacked i'd bet it's sales would drop off like crazy.

I've got a portable device that can take photos and go on the internet as well.
It's called a Cellphone.
It doesn't link up with the PS3, but since nobody really has many PS3's right now that doesn't matter much. Nor do i think would it matter anyway. I mean I don't think the Gamecube/Gameboy Advance linkup system was really moving Gameboy Advances.
The DS is just "THE" system to have for kids, and apparently the Japanese in general considering it's sold silly amounts their.
Given the choice i don't see any kid taking the PSP over the DS. Their schoolmates just wouldn't let them live it down. I don't know a kid under 13 that doesn't have a DS. Of course that's basically only relatives as i don't make it a habit to hang out with kids under 13. From what they've told me however all of their friends have ones too.
Pokemon in the US and The Training games in Japan are just too much of a force to be reckoned with.
