DS is probably closing in on 70 million-sellers. VGC numbers are incomplete. I seem to recall the actual number was around 56 or 58 some months ago... Maybe even at the turn of the year.
But this number will easily be surpassed by the Wii. DS is beating what past handhelds have done in terms of software sales, but it is not in the realm of past home consoles. When Wii has an 80M install base, of course it will have more million-sellers than DS has now.
"[Our former customers] are unable to find software which they WANT to play."
"The way to solve this problem lies in how to communicate what kind of games [they CAN play]."
Satoru Iwata, Nintendo President. Only slightly paraphrased.
