Let me snip out the important bits:

January Hardware:
Nintendo DS 700,000
Nintendo Wii 405,000
Sony PSP 230,000
Sony PS3 148,000
Sony PS2 111,000
MS Xbox 360 40,000

Lifetime total for Wii and PS3:
Wii 1,395,000
PS3 614,000

Personal additional note: While not listed here, DS+DS Lite has just about caught up to GBA/GBASP at about 14.7 million lifetime total. PS2 still holds the record at about 20m, but at this rate, by the end of the year, the DS will probably surpass it, especially with the pending release of Dragon Quest 9 for it.

January Software:
1. Dragon Quest Monsters Joker (DS, Square Enix): 402,992
2. Pokemon Diamond & Pearl (DS, Pokemon): 370,832
3. Wii Sports (Wii, Nintendo): 355,243
4. Wii Play (Wii, Nintendo): 283,758
5. New Super Mario Brothers (DS, Nintendo): 229,797
6. Grand Theft Auto San Andreas (PS2, Capcom): 209,974
7. Brain Age 2 (DS, Nintendo): 208,875
8. Common Knowledge Trainer (DS, Nintendo): 203,206
9. Animal Crossing (DS, Nintendo): 181,869
10. Kirby Squeak Squad (DS, Nintendo): 155,997

They are everywhere here. My students can't put them down in school, and business men (and women!) and always playing the educational games on the train. I lost track of how many colours they come in, and how many accessories you can get for them, long ago.

I have one, too.

I love my ds lite too. Im so glad I got one. I think Super Mario brothers is the best game I have ever played! I dont mind if its a bit easy. All the other mario games I have played on my gba I got stuck on and havent gone on them since. But this Ds game is fantastic! I hope they do some more. Its the graphics aswell that are great.
