Nope. First day estimates up PSP sales in the 160k area, well short of the actual supply. With the news of PSP battery sucking (which is apparently true to an extent) and other rumors, it's no wonder it didn't sell. Sony artificially created hype by disallowing pre-orders. The reason DS lines weren't that long was because Nintendo had half a million shipped and didn't have to worry, so people could pre-order and pick up the DS after work.
When people realize what the PSP actually is, it'll tank in the US, similar to Game Gear, except Game Gear was pretty good, only you had to carry around a bag full of AA batteries to play it.
