In Japan DS alone is at 31.5 million. However the original report is here: http://www.mcvuk.com/news/42153/UK-console-installed-base-exceeds-32m .

"32.4m current generation game consoles are now in circulation in the UK, according to Gfk Chart-Track.

That means retail has sold 5.2m DS, Wii, PS3, Xbox 360 and PSP consoles this year.

However, that's a 26 per cent slowdown in hardware sales compared to 2009. For the same year-to-date period in 2009, 7.2m games consoles had been sold.

It's important the note that although there has been a variety of new bundles and new hardware configurations this year – including the DSi XL and Xbox 360 S – there's been no big price drop on any of the leading hardware."

Underlined: this year sales, it seems DS > Wii > PS3 > X360 > PSP (that's the way multiplat sales are reported).

God you'll stoop to anything, PS3 and Wii are not ahead of 360 this year in UK.
