Uncharted series on PS3 - 3 full iterations
GT series on PS3 - 1 Prologue and 1 full iteration. And GT5 sold 7.66 million so far, Prologue over 5 million (via Polyphony's site). Thus, GT > 12 million on PS3.
While this is not realistic at all, your compariosn actually compliments my sentiments - GT hasn't seen more than one full iteration on the PS3, yet it nearly exceeds all three Uncharted titles. If GT6 & GT7 were to be released on PS3, we wouldn't even be having this discussion.

I'm just taking this site's numbers. Uncharted series has sold more than two million more games than GT on PS3, so it has been bigger than GT. You can say that on average, GT games have sold more than Uncharted games, but it's understandable when they are more spaced on time. GT has also been much more bundled than Uncharted, at least in Europe.
GT sales are trending downwards, while Uncharted sales are trending upwards.

And yet despite all that, GT is still the bigger series. Yes, Uncharted is treading upwards, but it will never cross even the lowest GT title (which is currently GT2, since it has finished selling). Plus, since GT5 has yet to finsih selling, there's no telling where it will settle, but two things are for sure - it will at least cross the 9 million mark and Uncharted will never reach anywhere near that.
In fact, GT5 did all of Uncharted 3's numbers in under a month (and bundles really mean little when both had their fair share of holiday bundling and GT5 still has a massive lead - a lead mainly based on the Gran Turismo name and continued, unparalled driving experience on console, not the bundling). Not much else to say from there and since the topic was taken way off (the OP wasn't talking about sales to begin with), best to drop it there (or PM if you'd like to continue).

You forgot to mention the fact that GT5 had much less hype than Uncharted 3...and still did 5 million+ in a month.

The hype for GT5 was way bigger than for UC3 where I live at least...

UC3 marketing = Sony Computer Entertainment UK has spent £5 million ($7.82m) on its marketing push for Uncharted 3, a figure which the platform holder claims makes the game its biggest software launch ever.

No PS3 exlcusive had more marketing than UC3 maybe GT5 had more internet hype but other than that its not true. However GT5 had a budget of 60 million and very little went towards marketing.
