It took MS about 6 years to reach a similar figure. Pokemon is the game that will really get people started with online - once it has been out everywhere for a year (released in Europe, etc..) I would expect this figure to reach around the 8-10m mark.
I have played my DS online a little - primarily Metroid Hunters. Still waiting for some awesome CO-OP RPG to come out (Crystal Chronicles?).
EDIT - as more "free" WiFi points are launched (we only recently got a decent set of free points here in Oz), this number will also start to significantly rise. Nintendogs II would be a killer app for online IMO.
