We Don't Know Whos Ganna Be Cheaper Yet, Though You're Probadly Going To Be Right.
PSP2 Showed Of A Straight Up Version Of Metal Gear Solid 4(Nominated For Game Of The Year 2008) & A Similar Uncharted To Uncharted 2(Game Of The Year 2009, By The Way), That's Something. The PSP2 Has A Strong Line Up Though Small It'll Increase When It's About To Launch.
Just Because A Previous Console Destroyed The Last Gen Does Not Mean It's Going To Repeat.
EX. Units Sold: Gamecube 20, Xbox 20, & PS2 120 (In Million)
Wii 85, 360 50, & PS3 47
The DS Had Best Selers Beacause It Was More Bang For The Buck, That's Why Everyone Got It And That's Why The DS Has More Best Sellers But Now We Just Got To Wait To See Sells More To Find Out The New Best Sellers.
Thank You For Reading This Long Ass Opinion

One potential problem with the PSP2's line-up is that games that are particularly successful on a handheld are often very different from games that are particularly successful on a home console. A game like Nintendogs and Cats may not have the fanboy appeal of the games you listed, but it is entirely possible that it would outsell most of the announced PSP2 games combined.
Now, on your second point, no successor to the market leading console has lost its marketshare to a console that has launched significantly later than it, and the only time it has lost market share to a console that was at a higher price was when the Playstation launched 18 months before the N64. From what we have seen, launching later than the successor to a market leading console tends to ensure that your hardware sales declines from generation to generation.
As for the new best sellers ... The PSP2 will require larger development teams and longer time-lines to produce exclusive games than the 3DS will; and this means that, even if developers are supporting both platforms equally, the 3DS will see far more games released to it. On top of these exclusively developed games, the 3DS will probably see ports from the Dreamcast, PS2, Gamecube, XBox and Wii while the PSP2 might see ports from the PS3 and XBox 360; and this works out to being far more games for the 3DS than the PSP. Now you may be asking 'Why does the quantity of games mater for million selling games?' and the answer to this is that break-out successes tend to be somewhat unpredictable; and the more games that are released the more likely it is to have a breakout success. When a platform sees the release of 2500 games it is far more likely that the next Guitar Hero or Pokemon will be created on that platform than the system that only has 250 games released.
