Lol no.

I have a DSi, browsing on it sucks big time. The screens are way too low res and rendering a page takes forever because it's not a very powerful device.

The cameras suck too, because they're only VGA (640x480), I guess it's fun to mess around with for a while for kids, but it's not a big reason to buy a DSi.

The only things the DSi has over the DS Lite are slightly bigger screens, better speakers and SD card support. It also has DSiWare but so far the games on there are pretty meh.

Best selling non-Nintendo handheld by a huge margins?

I'd hardly call it a failure, especially when there's still some really good games being made for it.

Wii is a failure, its sales were down year on year as well.
DS is a failure, its sales were down year on year as well.

The DS and Wii are outselling everything in the market.

The PSP has been a sales disaster from its 3rd year. First two years were OK-ish as the DS only started to take off in its second year.
The PSP had legions of PS2 fans waiting to jump into it.
Even past holiday season the PSP dropped big time.
I should have made that clearer.
