It's only natural the DS would sell more. It's cheaper in price and is backed by a company with a successful history in handheld gaming.

When Sony has released about 6 or 7 handhelds and it doesn't do as well, then you can blame it on holidays. But for now, you'll just need to accept Sony will have trouble swaying gamers who have enjoyed Nintendo's handheld legacy for all these years.
Smaller sales? It ranged from 475,000 to 575,000 units, as Sony Research has not yet released their official number, but independent analysts report around that range.

Now... considering the time of season, that range is considerably high compared to the DS right about now.

EDIT: No where in that analysis did it say PSP had smaller sales... so where is my motive for creating excuses for it?
