"Michael Pachter did tell me in email however that much of the X360 year over year rise came from a) free X360s given away with Windows 7, and b) X360s sold directly to distributors (some of these units apparently ended up in Brazil) - "and Microsoft convinced NPD to count both". Pachter didn't have figures on how many units those promotions added, but estimates that X360 would have dropped slightly year over year (-5% to -10%) without those inclusions."

By convinced They mean money was involved
And if this is true, then i have lost all my respect for NPD as they should be counting numbers of systems sold to distributors for the PS3 and Wii as well. :)
