They're comparing the first 19 months because that's the period from launch for which there is data for both consoles. You could compare the Wii at 19 months to the Xbox 360 at 31 months, but that wouldn't be indicative of which one is doing better. It would only be indicitive of which one has been selling longer.
So the Wii has sold more third party games in the same period from launch as the Xbox 360. Presumably, the trends will continue and by this time next year, the Wii will have more third party games sold than the Xbox does now.
I think Nintendo's point is that third parties will sell a lot more Wii games over the life of the Wii than they will sell Xbox 360 over the life of the Xbox 360. And this information suggests that to be true.
