Nintendo is known for making exclusives that sell exceptionnally well and it's an IP that's known to sell millions with a game in the series having a 1/3 tie ratio to the console. It's like saying GTA 5 being the most profitable game ever is suprising. There was no guarantee it was going to be that succesful, but it was already expected to be very succesful. |
And Monster Hunter is known for the monstrous sales despite been exclusives to the 3ds.
MH4 series(Mainline)3ds 8.3 million
Smash Bros 3ds = 9.45 million
Smash Bros Ultimate 12.08 million in a month on 32 million hardware
MHW 12 million in a year on PS4 90 million + XB1 41 million + Steam >100 million user base
Context is really important and Smash Ultimate exceeded most people expectation based on the poll
