The DS just continues to crush the PSP, along with everything else

bah the ds doesn't crush anything. The other consoles do not sell less because of the DS (apart from the PSP of course). Its just a different market. Good for Nintendo but pretty much irrelevant to Wii/PS3/360. We could also talk about cell phones crushing the DS because they sell much more and can play games.

but yes DS sales are amazing, although software sales do not keep up outside of Japan.

I just bought a DS-lite and it put off Xbox 360 desires for probably at least 6 months. There are so many good games for the DS, and this will allow me to reeavluate which console to buy when the PS3 finally has some big name exclusives out that I want (Uncharted is the first one I really like the idea of). If Microsoft has their Xbox 360 reliability issue addressed by then, they may get my sale. But I think it's more likely that Sony will have good exclusives out than Microsoft will have fixed their crashing consoles.

The DS is also drawing support away from the Playstation family, including the PS2.  Square-Enix's flagship US release for the holiday was the FFXII release for the DS-lite.  Judging by reviews, it's a good one.
