Nope, NPD only tracks the US and Canada where PSP software has been decent compared to the rest of the world, especially Japan.
In addition, it doesn't show growth. In the first 3 quarters of the last fiscal year, PSP software sales contracted 3 million units compared to the same time period one year earlier. DS software sales on the other hand grew 50 million units in the same time period. These aren't VGC numbers, but are from Sony's and Nintendo's own fiscal reports.
So DS software sales are increasing while PSP software sales are shrinking.
