@lstormy10, I would counter that the PSP has seen a nice sales boost this Fall, and much of it is from the PSP Slim model which came with added features. Every additional feature to a console/portable makes it more appealing, and often it can result in someone buying the product before they may have planned to in the future. Also some people will buy something, i.e. PSP, a second time when the new model releases.
The new easy way to copy a BD disc (and probably DVD) will make many people very happy, instead of sitting and trying to encode a DVD and all of the hassle that involves on getting it onto a PSP. BD movie sales should benefit as you said. I also believe a slight increase in PSP and/or PS3 sales will happen when this feature and other new ones convince someone that owning both is better than only owning one.
I think the PS3 would likely give options of what resolution/quality to copy at, or it would be standardized to one setting for easy copying onto memory sticks & thus PSP.
