Forza Motorsport

Forza Motorsport 1 sold 1.07 million, Forza Motorsport 2 sold 4.02 million, and Forza Motorsport 3 is looking to do about the same.

You're missing the point. Only Forza really fits.

Even there it was mostly due to bundles otherwise it would have been more of a gradual increase rather than quadrupling sales.

Anyways, how are we counting games that change significantly.  Fallout 3 for example.  Not sure what the first 2 sold, but I doubt it was 6 million.  Madden and Fifa/WE had a pretty big increase from the PS1 generation to PS2.  But there are so many of those games it wasn't an immediate jump.

Forza Motorsport 2 was bundled a year after it was released. By that point the game had sold about 3.5 million copies. the bundle only helped on the last 500k. It was bundled twice though (once with Viva Pinyata, once with Halo 3: ODST).
