SF is only a small part of FPC's downloads. The fpc master ftp has approx. 25,000 downloads (less in summer) of fpc-2.4.0.i386-win32.exe per month. So approx. 300,000 per year and this is only one mirror. So the reason for the high Nintendo DS download number might be that some webpage/blog/wiki with a FPC Nintendo DS howto links directly to the SF page and thus the statistics gets wrong. About the Mac OS X "market": well, fpc-2.4.0.intel-macosx.dmg has 300 to 400 downloads per months.
