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.

Sad but true.  I loved my Game Gear and its games so much... despite almost needing to be plugged into the wall via AC when played.
