There was already a thread on this ^^
And the answer is sad but true: Nope.
Why? Because one is Sony's and the other Nintendo's console.

addendum: and because neither manufacturer wants to support an open standard.

Also, because of the development process (PSP here at T17, DS at Two Tribes), they run entirely different code bases. It just ain't feasible to even try and keep the games in synch.

...and people would moan that one platform an advantage over the other whilst competing online.

Although this could be fixed with some kind of filter: Let's say I have the PSP version and don't want to play against NDS-People. Then I could just change it in the settings and only PSP-People would show up on the list for me.
