This is kinda a toughy. I'm inclined to say MHW, simply because of the members here who ( god bless them all the same ) thought it would sell much less than it did. I"ll think about this as I'm doing laundry.
- Went with MHW

Super Mario party, Spiderman, Smash, MHW and RDR 2
All deserving of it btw.
It's a little hard for me to look at this from a retail-only perspective when we know that the PS4 and Xbox One titles sold exceptionally well in digital sales. I also think the fact that Monster Hunter World released so early in the year kind of softened the blow of it selling far above all previous titles.
With that being said I think Monster Hunter World and Super Mario Party are the most surprising. I was one of the people expecting God of War and Smash to do about as well as they ended up doing
Although I will say in retrospect, kind of crazy how close Smash is in one month to Spider-Man and God of War. It's probably nearly tied with GoW including digital, and only a million or two behind Spider-Man including digital.
Monster Hunter World is a close second, but I would have to go with Spider-Man. That game REALLY took off. I always that it was going to sell great, but not THAT great.

Wow Mario Party sold that much?! That's surprising to me. I expected RDR2, COD, FIFA, and Pokemon to do their numbers. GoW was only surprising because it normally doesn't sale that much. I'm a huge GoW fan and I expected to sell a bit less than it did. Seeing how popular GoW has been and how critically acclaimed it is...my tune changed on the sales front. Very deserving!

Monster Hunter World sold far more than i expected
Monster Hunter for sure.
Spiderman had a huge marketing push (possibly the biggest since Halo 3), and its SPIDERMAN, with a great developer behind it this time around. It wasnt a surprise in the slightest.
2nd most surprising would be GOW.
How is Smash a surprise? Most framchises were diing record numbers on switch, plus this is smash were talking about. Brawl sold like more than 3 million first month.
Bet with Intrinsic:
The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.
This is a toughie, but it comes down to MHW, Spider-Man and Smash. In the end I have to give it to Spider-Man though. I didn't have many expectations one way or the other about MHW. And with Smash it is too early to tell how well it will do. Most Smash games tend to be front loaded. Is this one front loaded too? Too early to tell.
I remember last year there was a thread asking, "which would sell better: God of War or Spider-Man?" Most people said God of War. I also remember I was on the high end of most prediction threads about Spider-Man and it still exceeded my expectations. It is selling far, far better than Spider-Man 2 on PS2 which is the only other Spider-Man game of comparable quality.
So, yeah, Spider-Man ftw!
curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.
