They only talked about USA and europe, they didn't count Japan or rest of asia. Nintendo is "only" shipping 2.5m outside Japan in march. Yes, number is still too low but because Japan probably has around 30-35% of the worldwide sales (handhelds are most popular relatively in Japan), 8m sold in west means about 12m sold worldwide.
