Outsold? I guess if you consider that the DS had a 5 month head-start. 1 million PSP's were sold on release day, 18 million in homes by Xmas '05, 50 million by Xmas '06. And it's online out of the box. Nintendo unfortunately still isn't totally convinced gamers want online capabilities.
I was talking more world wide numbers. It's hard to tell overall sales at this point(because of which some stores are unable to report their numbers) but I do know that the DS just shattered the 1st week sales for 1 console over in Europe, outsold the PSP for their 1st week sales in Japan and it is too early to tell here in America.
Lets face it though, sales don't equal a quality system so I won't fight that.
I do however say that I don't think entering the handheld market will be good for Sony. For one, the PSP is seeing a gigantic loss for every unit sold. For two, the UMD is set-up as a failure due to much higher running costs than a normal disk and disturbing possible security breaches. Sony is putting its priorities to the UMD market and it really just doesn't look good. For three, just look at the handheld market in the past. About a 10-1 failure/success ratio. Virtually all of which are Nintendos.
