Yes, the DS is taking RPG's away from the other video game machines.
Handheld gaming does not kill home console RPG demand, the home console RPG market is doing very well. Sure the DS eats up developer work hours, but DS games are relatively easy to make due to the simple nature of the games, but in all honesty allthough developer companies want to earn a quick buck on the DS, most game developers are gamers too and the best devs like to challenge their imagination and creativity and for this a higher specced system is often needed.
Movie maker talents, Music making talents, writing talents, etc, etc could also be redirected towards game development...
