Most of them threw their lot in with the PSP from Day One and are now sent scrambling as Nintendo had to build their empire all by themselves, sans Square Enix, who actually favored DS. Now that the PSP ship is sinking, it should stand to reason that their fanbase on DS is low, and therefore they may not get as big a piece of the pie. But it's not like they have much choice in the matter. PSP software sales are abysmal, so a small piece of a big pie is better than a small piece of a little pie.
Yeah 3rd party developers bet on the wrong horse and now they are scrambling to play catch up. I mean Konami, Capcom, and Sega haven't exactly been putting top notch titles out for DS. Especially Capcom, I'm sure they are rethinking their position now.
