Hmm, not really.
The DS brings alot more new features to the scene, alot more variety in gameplay. Traditional gameplay it is not

The PSP, on the other hand, clings to tradition like a little kid and his blanket. It's pretty much just a portable ps2. Content-rich RPG? Sure. But all these "Content-rich" RPGs have something in common. The same gameplay, and usually a very, very similar plot. The ability to write good stories does not make a great game. Even great content, great graphics, and great sounds can still be filed under traditional gameplay.

If you stripped down a DS game to it's bare essentials, going down to crappiest graphics, and worst sounds, you'd still have a great game.

If you stripped down your favorite PSP game to it's bare essentials, you'd have Final Fantasy 1 or something like that.
