The only flaw with your statement is that for it to be cheaper than the 3DS, it needs to have cheaper components. Which pretty much means slower processor, less ram, lesser quality graphics. Pretty much an inferior system. I don't think you can pull a "Wii success" with handhelds. Besides, Sony is always about bells and whistles, they will soup up the PSP2 to be at least on par, pricewise, with the 3DS.
I do agree that the 3DS lineup sucks. They should have had Ocarina of Time ready for launch, the game is like 13 years old now afterall.
As for the battery life, that can change with electronic tweaks or a better battery. 3-5 wouldnt bode well for those long car trips with the kids in the back, unless you had a power convertor to plug in to.

They can't have 1st party line ups at launch this time around since it'd murder 3rd party efforts, it's the right thing to do to get more support down the line. That's just how it is, but a few months down the road, it's going to be insane every month.

Hmm but it didnt seem to hurt the DS, no? Didnt they have have 1st party games at launch?

Remember the dev cost is going up too. Where it was OK to fail on DS games, the precentage of that option will start to go lower, successful 3rd parties at the start will ensure more money printing down the line. Nintendo is not a huge risk taker mind you (they do take risks, but I doubt they'd pull some shit like the Virtual Boy again,) they want to ensure profit gains no matter what.
