No, the touch interface is a mimic of the DS touch interface, it also costs more and is overall a hand held PC.
Gaming is just one of it's functions.
It would probably carve out the same chunk in gaming that PC does versus the home consoles; which isn't that much of a bad thing. The price range is just really up there though, but it isn't a dedicated gaming device.
If the DSi was to be used as a Camera it would be a very crappy one, if the DSi were to be used as a video gaming device it would be a very good one.

PSP is a gaming device that attempts to be a portable multimedia device, almost like a revisit to the Walkman turned mp3 player turned UMD player (movie player).
While the ITouch is again a PC lite that's in the palm of your hand.
If anything hardware wise the PSP is moving into the Itouchs space, but someone else pointed out another perspective which was that disruption was occurring through digital distribution.
The thing is that the success of the PSP to for what I can see is leading to the reason why the PC was so successful versus the Macs.
PC is a crappy Mac as PSP is a crappy Itouch in every sense except the touch interface. V_V The accessibility issue could be the Itouchs silver bullet though.
All in all, who should be sweating?
Apple and Nintendo, as both of them are doing things that they don't know if it will work.
I'm Unamerica and you can too.
