The DS Lite? A problem for Sony? Pfff. Whatever. Sweat off Sony's back. Wanna know why? Sony's Sony that's why. The company's John Koller tells game site Joystiq:

There has been no impact on sales. We have had steady sales since before the DS Lite and to today. Looking at it objectively they've had a very successful launch, obviously, and I think they're seeing a lot of Nintendo loyalists jump back in the market and there's a lot of retail initiatives to trade in your old DS for a DS Lite. If you look at the numbers, they did very well in June. But, if you look at our numbers since launch until now, we have outsold the DS by approximately 900,000 units in North America. Statistically speaking they had a holiday head start on the PSP, so in terms who have sold more overall has been a back and forth.

He then goes on to say the DS is "more kid friendly" and that the top three things consumers want for the PSP are PS3 connectivity, a digital camera and instant messaging that can be accessed via the internet. I thought the top three user requests were a keyboard, a keyboard and a keyboard. Brian Ashcraft
