DS America's top-selling game system, Wi-Fi users reach 1.7 million

I doubt anyone was all that surprised when they read the NPD data for June. The DS kicks ass and its games kick ass. This is knowledge shared by many around the world. What you may not have heard, however, is that the DS is the top-selling console in America, having already sold 600,000 units (almost double of any other console on the market).

In the Wi-Fi department, Nintendo is reporting that they have reached a total of 1.7 million users worldwide, allowing people to visit a friend's animal town or frag bounty hunters on some distant space rock. It's been just 8 months since the service has launched and it's already beaten every other service's adoption rate to date.
