I see alot of complaining about the "Square Enix Tax," that is $40 for a DS game. However, almost every time I get a PSP game new, it's that same price. Why is it alright for PSP games to be that much, but not DS games? Handheld games are handheld games ,aren't they?
Note: I'm not doing this as a system fanboy. I hate paying the "PSP tax" as much as the "Square Enix Tax," and if I wanted this to be system wars, I'd have posted it at GAF.

because PSP is a "mini PS2 slim" and a DS is a cheap toy.

PSP games follow the pricing structure of other real video games. They start at $30 of $40 and then drop to $20 over their lifetime. DS games follow the Nintendo pricing structure which starts games out at a certain price and then drops them in the next decade.

Because only 1 out of 10 PSP owners actually buy games, so they really gotta charge the hell out of that one guy. Square just does it on the DS because they're gay.
