The DS got a redesign because it was selling less than the PSP...once the DSLite appeared...the DS took off.

It takes more than a redesign of the hardware. At the time the DSlite was launched, also the brain games hype started and games like Nintendogs and Animal Crossing helped a lot too. 2 or 3 months after the DSlite launched, New Super Mario Bros was released and there you had the killer catalogue of games that made the DS so popular.

It's delusional to think that a PSP redesign will result in much higher sales, because the PSP will still have the same games for the same demographics as before. It's great that the PSP gets more original games now and less PS2 ports, but those exclusive games are for the same audience that bought the PS2 ports before.

The DS took off because of the combination of better designed hardware and software that expanded the market. I can't see Sony doing the same in the near future.

 People keep saying this, but how is Crush or Lumines or Gunpey or Parappa for the same audience? These are all not your usual console game.
