I like my psp but it just seems so fragile. Having that flip top on the ds means never having to worry about the screen being scratched. (yes I could get a case for the psp) Psp is a bit bulky and the DS has better games.
I have used the gba slot on my DS so does that count as gba or ds
No I'm not.There are some people who can't afford to go out and buy a DS or PSP, and they most likely already have a mobile phone, so they get their mobile gaming fix on a cell phone.It's kinda like a PC of mobile gaming in that you need it for other reasons anyway, so buying games for it is a lot cheaper than buying an entire other system to do that.
EDIT:And I put the GBA on there because there are so many good games for it, especially for RPG fans, and some people haven't upgraded yet.

I know, it's just... cell phones really aren't ideal, you know?
Also, In Japan cell phone games are quite popular. People play them on the trains all the time. There are a fair number of people who play the psp and ds too.
I myself played my cell phone on a regular basis on the way to my job. The price was generally low for games and they were quickly downloaded. I had a wipeout clone as well as bomberman.
In NA everyone drives a car so that makes it a bit more difficult to drive and game (though some do). I think if we saw a mass shift to public transit the sales of cell phone games would explode here.
I honestly play my DS more than any system at all. I very seldom touch my XBOX360 or PS3, and when I do I tend to use them more as DVD players than anything else. I do enjoy my PSP, but I don't have close to the library for it that I do for the DS though.
Edit: I have to admit I play quite a lot of GBA games on the DS too.
PSP and homebrew... two words that go well together. I can play Open-source Transport Tycoon Deluxe from the comfort of my bed! It's probably my favorite 'homebrew' game. Not exactly 'homebrew' as its pretty much just a PSP port of OpenTTD.
My bro wants a Pandora, which is a handheld made solely for homebrew. Actually looks pretty good, but I'll give it a miss for now until the handhelds we've already got die or whatever.

Homebrew is a big factor.
You're kidding, right?

err the iphone can fall into that which apparently has many good games
When I said cell phone, I really meant more along the lines of an average one, not the iphone.But the iphone counts too.

Although I used my DS a lot, I don't always carry it with me. Cell phone Tetris has occupied me in many waiting lines.

but I think you mean 'edition'.
