The question is, what do they have coming this year that will bump the hardware? They need a constant flow of quality games - its just as important for people to see PS3 software titles in the top#20, as it is hardware picking up.
At least the PSP situation has improved (a lot) - with software titles regularly in the top#20 now. I wouldn't read too much into PSP hardware (vrs DS) - its only "winning" by 20k/week at the moment, which isn't a lot considering the 14m head-start the DS has over the PSP.
And the PSP hardware improvement had a lot to do with three (four) things happening at once:
1/ New model
2/ Price cut
3/ Lots of new colours
4/ Several AAA titles hitting at once
Do this on any of the consoles, and you'll see a sustained hardware boost - but it really is a "one-off" trick. I can only imagine what would happen to the DS this Xmas if a new model hit (in conjunction with DQIX :P).
Anyway - bed time for me...
