Comparing those screenshots... the PSP game definitely looks better, but not by as much as it probably should when you compare the hardware...
You're right, though (OB1) that this is probably Nintendo's greatest challenge since the Game Gear. None of the other ten or so failed handhelds did very well, but that one competed... even if it didn't take first. The PSP definitely will compete. It won't take first overall (vs. both the GBA and DS), but it should be able to survive... which means less profits for Nintendo but perhaps more innovation so it's not all bad... though with how great the GBA has been without competition I can't say Nintendo really has much room for improvement on the game quality front. :)
