People are surprised not because of that big number but the timeframe of that number. 

25 days of sales = 9-10m(Physical+Digital)

Smash Ultimate is already outpacing the previous entries and about to overtake the best selling version in just a month. 

It's still nowhere near a genuine surprise as far as I'm concerned. Smash was always going to sell well, so it selling well, but faster is still completely within reason.

Probably part of the surprise is that Smash Bros. Ultimate is not only selling well, but allowed the Switch to move so much hardware that it broke records. Sure, Smash is a system seller, but I don't believe at this level. 1.77 million Switch units were sold in the U.S. during the month of December, the highest amount of units in a month sold in this generation, especially considering that the Switch did really well in November and that the PS4 has dominated this generation but has not been able to post even these kinds of numbers during the holidays.
