These games are not tracked. Both the old figures and the new are based on Nintendo's at-the-time most-recent reported shipment numbers. Pokemon R/S and FR/LG were adjusted upwards too, and I believe several others.
All GBA/GC numbers are still not up-to-date. But I think all the big 5M+ sellers are.
The number above 7M for Melee was recently cited by Nintendo in a Brawl press release, but I haven't seen any of the others outside VGC.
"[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.
