Iwata also said that DS sales were up 20% in that interview. I wrote a Black Friday piece last year from Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft Press Releases that said that Nintendo sold 653,000 DS during Black Friday week 2007...which was a record.
So basically, Iwata said for Black Friday week in the USA:
2008 Black Friday = DS Black Friday 2007 * 1.2 = 780k+
Wii ~ 800k
That means these are likely the all time records for Nintendo hardware. Not hard to imagine 4m Wiis in December if the supply holds up.
Anyway, I have a Black Friday round up for 2008 on the front page with the links
