They were only bundled in Europe for a small amount of time.

And wasn't that the promotion where you chose a game from a certain selection.

Yes, but that never stops people from saying it about every new game that comes out.

it might crack the 2 million mark with some holiday bundles

Look at their sales history: it's very clear when their bundle began, because sales spiked up very suddenly. Here's Heavenly Sword:
http://www.vgchartz.com/swlaunch.php?reg1=All&game1=Heavenly+Sword+-+PS3®2=All&game2=®3=All&game3=&weeks=100&weekly=1
It's difficult to know how long the bundles lasted, because it's entirely plausible that, 4 weeks after the promotion, the game was still in unsold PS3 boxes that were produced during the offer but had not yet been sold.
Pretty clearly this has a noticable effect, Outlaw. Therefore, it is reasonable to conclude that this game will definitely make it if it is bundled, but may not make it if it doesn't. It still could, but may not. Army of Two is a reasonable comparison:

This was a game that was never bundled with the system and started with comparable first week sales of 160k. It is now currently at .85 million. With slightly higher initial sales (about 12% higher) inFamous could make it without any help, but it may not.

HS at 1 million when sales start to raise.
Those spikes were also during the holiday seasons of 2007 and 2008.
I tried to buy this game here in Bergen, Norway but It was sold out everywhere.
