That's what I saying.

Bundled games with standalone version = counted
Bundled games without standalone version = not counted

 So there are no forza in TOP10. How it outsold GT5 last month?

Actually no.

Software that comes with a hardware accessory is counted (Wii Fit, Wii Play).
Software that is included with a hardware accessory isnt counted (Kinect, Move).

It is a fine line.  If Nintendo had called Wii Fit. Nintendo Wii Board with Wii Fit it wouldnt count in software sales according to NPD.

Oh thanks.

So NPD counts Forza 3 that comes with Hardware bundle?

Nope because it is free Forza 3 with the purchase of an Xbox 360. Had they made it a free Xbox 360 with the purchase of Forza 3 then it would count.
