If you mean how high a single platform managed, then enrageorange just linked the best.

1. DS w/e 20th Dec 2008 with 2,114,585
2. DS w/e 22nd Dec 2007 with 2,043,008
3. DS w/e 26th Dec 2009 with 1,855,412
4. Wii w/e 26th Dec 2009 with 1,843,614
5. 3DS w/e 24th Dec 2011 with 1,786,398
6. DS w/e 27th Dec 2008 with 1,778,002
7. Wii w/e 19th Dec 2009 with 1,763,754
8. DS w/e 19th Dec 2009 with 1,741,057
9. DS w/e 15th Dec 2007 with 1,737,070
10. DS w/e 13th Dec 2008 with 1,699,385

Now although we can't view PS2 sales anymore, I remember checking them and it's highest week was either ~1,670,000 or ~1,770,000 so it should fit in somewhere between 7th and 11th... I think it also had 2 weeks in the 1.4 million range, 2 in the 1.2 million range and one in the 1.1 million range... but that was it, only 6 total weeks over 1 million, and only once was it 2 consecutive weeks over 1 million (whereas DS managed 5 consecutive weeks over 1 million in 2008 alone)

If you mean total hardware in a single week then without being able to see PS2 it's hard to tell, but I would hazard a guess at 2008,  which got to 5,959,914 w/e 20th Dec and the PS2 was still going ok then so probably added 300k or so. Or possibly 2009 which got to 6,049,399 plus whatever the PS2 did.

Oh man, thanks so much. The first section of your post had EXACTLY what I was looking for. =)

Ignoring the PS2, DS also comes in 11th, with the top non-December weeks sales at 1,640,109 for w/e 29th Nov 2008.
DS really had a phenomenal Q4 in 2008. Just short of 14 million sales for Oct+Nov+Dec.
