EDIT: Cheers to Rol for the clarification; this is 23 games selling over a million during the financial year from 1st April 2018 to 31st March 2019, not lifetime.

Given the numbers we have for their first party software, (see below) that means 9 third party games sold over a million copies during that period.

[Confirmed First Party Million+ sellers for this period:

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate - 13.81m
Pokémon: Let's Go, Evee/Pikachu! - 10.63m
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe - 7.47m
Super Mario Party - 6.40m
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - 4.30m
Super Mario Odyssey - 4.04m
New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe - 3.31m
Splatoon 2 - 2.69m
Mario Tennis Aces - 2.64m
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze - 2.25m
Kirby Star Allies - 1.30m
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker - 1.18m
Yoshi's Crafted World - 1.11m
Nintendo Labo Toy-Con 01: Variety Kit - 1.09m

Total: 14]

Why are the Splatoon 2 and Breath of The Wild numbers so low here?

If you read what is underlined in the pots you quoted, you will note that the sales numbers are for sales between the dates 4/1/18 and 3/31/19

Splatoon and BotW got most of their sales before those dates.
