No Sports Champions??? Is it bundled in Japan???

Because Famitsu didn't count bundled games... just stand alone copies.

I am not saying you are wrong,  I don't know, but that doesn't make sense given that the game that was bundled with Move in japan is no. 9 here. Maybe Famitsu don't count games bundled with consoles? (as opposed to games bundled with peripherals).

Famitsu track bundled games with console and stand alone copies seperatelly.

MC doesn't track bundled games with console.

But I don't know how they track periferical bundles.

No, Famitsu counts ALL versions of games sold and doesn't distinguish between system bundled, peripheral bundled or standalone.  The bundled sales from MH3 and FFXIII were counted in with their totals, if they weren't both would've been at least 50k/100k lower.  Same deal with MH3 as CCPro bundles (which accounted for like 60% of all MH3 sales).  AC6 and Beautiful Katamari also had 360 bundled copies added to their normal (Platinum Hits) totals for example.

MC tracks peripheral sales with regular sales, dunno about system bundled games, though looking at their FFXIII/MH3 totals, I'd say they have to as well.
