It's funny to see these predictions running around about two consoles that haven't been released yet. When comparing the price point and features of the two consoles I am leaning towards Nintendo having a real winner here but Sony is certainly going to recoup their investment.
In the long term it's still all about the games.
I personally know about six people who have ditched their PSP to grab a DS even though the PSP is clearly more technical advanced. Nintendo has continued to develop some amazing games for the DS taking advantage of some of the unique qualities of the DS while the PSP has turned out to be a watered down PS2 with nothing particularly new to offer players.
The PSP is still selling well and has a reasonable stable of games available for it but the DS is outselling it like crazy. I think it's because of that combination of a lower price point and tons of great games being available.
I think I might have more to say but I have to get to work now.
