DS piracy was not even close to PSP's level and Nintendo were actively fighting it as well, 4 games per hardware isn't exactly something to write home about either.

Only merit Sony had with the PSP was that it woke Nintendo up to possible competition as far as handling the PSP goes they did an aweful job with it the platform was carried entirely by the homebrew scene in the west as Sony had little drive to push the PSP this carried over to the Vita only the latter had no homebrew to save it. Software not being bountiful highlights what I mean, I owned a PSP from launch as well the platform after a year for many western owners was used for emulation and such.
