Nintendo Breaches the 3-million connections and 500,000-user mark! - Gaming Blog
So is it a medium? A platform? I was thinking of using the DS as a datacapture device by having free-play sessions in shopping malls with a prompt at the end of the session. The devices are networked to a central controller so you could monitor what each person was up to.
I can imagine a new kind of shopping mall interaction. Instead of wearing a silly uniform and handing out fliers, the on-site person could invite shoppers to join a networked play (peppered with suitable calls to action or themed to match campaign).

Interesting idea dug. Personally I love the DS, if you gave me one in a shopping mall you'd be lucky to get it back. Even my totally luddite partner loves WarioWare and as for my five year old, his reading and writing have improved massively since thd DS (if I could actually get him off of it)...
