What happened to "portable games for portable a console"

I wish there was a way to quantify how much piracy hurt the PSP because it's often used as a point for the PSP's lack of software sales.  Its tie-in ratio was almost a full two games less than the DS despite being paraded around as the handheld for core gamers at the time.

The irony of it is that the piracy helped the PSP sell, the whole homebrew scene was a killer app for the platform.
