I would imagine the 2nd screen in the DS cancels out with the higher spec 
CPU and memory in the PSP, which is why they are about the same price.

Well when I got my consoles, the Wii was 250 euro and the PS3 was 400 euro. 
Now it seems the Wii is 235 and the PS3 is 370 euro.

I think one of the reasons the Wii has done so well is because it was aimed 
at people who wouldn't normally buy a console.  I don't think the Wii has 
taken much business away from the PS3 or XBOX, they just exploited a new 
market, a market where the people don't care about CPU specs at all, and 
Nintendo knew this.
