That's a fairly brave claim, considering that Nintendo has the majority of the handheld market right now, and the DS already has a jump on the PSP. I'm not saying that Sony has no chance, but with the amount of games in development for the DS, compared to the select few titles that aren't ports or don't look bad on the PSP, I'd say that Nintendo is going to hold onto the market for a while. The PSP is graphically superior, but it's going to be much much more expensive any way you slice it. I think the PSP will take over some of the portable market, but it certainly won't knock Nintendo off the map.
