What's up with the Handheld market?

Just proves my point: Have the DS or PSP sales slowed down in Japan, despite the numerous options of cell phones with handheld type buttons? If I remember right, sales of the DS and PSP are disproportionately higher there than anywhere else in the world.

Yeah basically. Mostly because the games offered on phones in Japan are quite different from those offered on PSP/DS.

I assume that if DS/PSP games started popping up on phones and DS/PSP it would be quite different.

Some Japanese phones are simply amazing. They're so far ahead of the US market.
