I think Sony will discontinue the PSP later this year/early next year and the PS2 around the same time to save on manufacturing costs and give it's current gen all the spotlight. I also think that the DS will claim the overall crown and be discontinued June-Julyish next year with the Wii being discontinued in August-September after finally avenging their first console that failed to come first, N64 by JUST overtaking the PS1. In June-July next year.
