- GT5 continues it's trek to 10 million

- Uncharted 2 continues it's trek to 5 million

- God of War III continues it's trek to 4 million

Yeah, eventually. They'll have to bundle the hell out of that game, though.

If you've been paying close attention, you'll see that most who say it will reach 10 million have also said it will get a bundle here or there at some point in the future. In other words, that piece is redundant. Many also said it either wouldn't pass Prologue or it wouldn't reach 6 million. In the amount of time that it's easily done both, nobody is irrational for thinking it will pass 10 million.

It will be interesting to see how it's second holiday turns out along with future price cuts & the Greatest Hits Edition (this all without bundling).

In other words, we are in agreement.

Not quite. I doubt it will require the type of bundling you're talking about (basically a giveaway title). So no.

In the short and middle term, no, but in the long term, after its sales potential has almost completely been exploited, it could make sense to choose it instead of any other title, to complete bundles with more than one game, for example, or to bundle it at very affordable cost with 1st and 3rd party wheels, to attract more new gamers both to the series and the whole genre itself. As I wrote in my previous post, these moves could be played after some important sales goals have been achieved and if some others are at reach. The "giveaway" bundling would make a lot of sense if 3rd and 2nd place in GT5 series come at reach, for example. All this IMVHO.
