They aren't coming from the same sentence. The fiscal year first party million seller list is to show what games floated Nintendo's boat this year. Seperately, Nintendo has discussed how many third party million sellers there are life-to-date for each system to show the transition from first party to third party sales over time.
"[Our former customers] are unable to find software which they WANT to play."
"The way to solve this problem lies in how to communicate what kind of games [they CAN play]."
Satoru Iwata, Nintendo President. Only slightly paraphrased.
