Gran Turismo 5 only because of bundling. Donkey Kong Country Returns is a masterpiece in a venerable series, but it's sales will not be carried by bundling.

I don't mean to demean bundled sales, but I do. A game sold by itself is a desired purchase, a game sold in a bundle is a compelled purchase. With the former, it is entirely your choice, the latter is not so much a choice.

I dunno, Nintendo's been a lot more successful with bundling top titles this gen (Wii Sports, Resort, NSMB) than Sony has.  I'd say chances are pretty good DKCR gets a new color bundle next holiday, in which case passing 10m is pretty much guaranteed.

GT5's already had bundles in every region btw.  Barely did anything.

Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony have all been successful with bundles. I think bundling GT5 with every PS3 would boost it's sales immensely.
