Saying any incarnation of the DS is "for kids" is just Sony's (largely unchanged) strategy to hold on to its 13-18-year-old male player demographic. If you're under 13 or over 18, the DS is probably better.
Seriously, what is there on the PSP that's specifically aimed at adults? I'm sure there is something out there, but the PSP does not have a Brain Age.
