Brain Age is not unexpected in Japan as brain training activities are already a BIG trend supported by the Japanese government there at the time of its release, and the professor you see in the game is actually the main promoter of the whole movement.
Read what Nintendo executives and spokesmen said: It was unexpected. They believed it could sell good but nobody believed it would be a 4 million seller...
And how about the Western sales... 1.4 m in NA? 2 million shipped to Europe? And still selling consistently.
To say it more clearly: It was not expected to sell such a hell of a lot of copies. Of course it sells like crazy now but two years ago nobody would´ve believed it. Probably it´s my bad english sorry 
Shane: Since Super NES no Nintendo home console did have an awesome launch. N64 sold good in Japan for some weeks but the numbers dropped soon and GC even sold worse in it´s first days. Gameboy didn´t launch that well and the DS didn´t either. It sold well because of christmas in 2004 but then the numbers dropped.
