I don't see why they shouldn't be compared. Yes the DS is selling like hotcakes but take a look at PS2 numbers in its heyday.
The PS2 looks likely to pass the gameboy in sales this year to be the number one system of all time. The number 3 is the PS1 far , far far ahead of the GBA and DS worldwide.
Yes ds passed the PS2 in Japan but that is showing they are competing, at least in that market where the portables are taking away from home console sales.
DS still has a long way to go to catch the PS2 about 50 million units so it is more relevent to talk about the fact that the PSP and DS are much further into their generations than the 3 new consoles.
Final* Word on Game Delays:
The game will not be any better or include more content then planned. Any commnets that say so are just PR hogwash to make you feel better for having to wait.
Delays are due to lack of proper resources, skill, or adequate planning by the developer.
Do be thankful that they have enough respect for you to delay the game and maintain its intended level of quality.
