The DS in Japan is the fastest selling videogame system ever released for any territory (NA, Japan, Europe). For comparisons sake the DS has sold well over 10 million units in Japan while the PSP hasn't pushed 3.5 yet. The numbers are fairly close for the other 2 territories with the DS holding a slight advantage in both.
