Id have to wonder what the criteria was for performance - i would think that the DS' almost 3x the battery life of the PSP should be a major factor for a handheld, and i would think thats a performance issue, no?

Considering the one thing that defines handhelds is the fact that you can play them anywhere without being plugged into a wall, then yes, the amount of time you can stay away from an outlet is the most important performance factor.  It's how the original Game Boy was the best-selling handheld without a single improvement from 1989 to 1998 (when the Game Boy Color came out).  It took down every single competitor, and most of the competitors had color and far superior tech.
