Well no, it's not doing horribly, but I think it should be pointed out that Nintendo could hardly care about the PSP entering the market since the DS is currently on track to being the best selling game system in history. Also the "seperate market" argument that people like to use doesn't really work when the DS is getting games like Dragon Quest IX.
Again though, the PSP isn't doing HORRIBLE. It's still not doing well at all. It's not sold nearly enough games to be called a successful console and Sony is still in the red on it. Still, it's a foothold in the handheld industry and they can continue in handheld games with their new user base.
On topic, it will never happen. They don't care about the handheld market. They have mentioned however in the past possibly porting some of their established franchises to the DS (Viva Pinata is the one I heard mentioned) in order to boost the sales of them and help decrease the user base of the PSP.
