While we're sure Nintendo will send a press release to mark the momentous occasion once 20 million DSes are sold in the U.S., recent numbers show that the handheld is almost there. After April's NPD numbers (http://www.dsfanboy.com/2008/05/16/april-npd-freefall/), 19.6 million of the systems have sold in the region since its launch.
Even though Japan has a much smaller population and reached the 20 million mark months ago (http://www.dsfanboy.com/2007/11/17/ds-reaches-the-twenty-million-mark-in-japan/), such a landmark can't be seen as anything but a success for Nintendo. It'll only be a matter of time now before the U.S. joins Europe (http://www.dsfanboy.com/2008/01/24/ds-sells-twenty-million-in-europe/) and Japan in the category of "regions that have sold 20 million DS systems."
