I think its easier to turn to your cell phone for brief sessions, ie, a wait in the doctors office, than trying to hull around your psp/ds. Now, would I get rid of my psp/ds. Heck no, but thats because I feel those portables provide a more dedicated gaming experience for longer sessions.
To boot, you have the fact that both the DS and the PSP have been out in market for 5+ years while cell phones making huge hardware gains at break neck speeds.
PSP2 I will not be DOA, neither will the DS. As others have said too, you need something for kids...though I guess you could also give them your old smart phone and access the store via wifi...or in the case of apple, a ipod touch.
