No, its not that common.Sure, more indie games are selling better than lets say 3 years ago, but they are still few and far betwenn.And since this game still have alot of support comming for it, we can certainly expect more sales.Not to mention the money they made with the DLCs and the amiibo.So the money they made must be higher than other indies that sell 1 million.

I don't get why it's bad that an indie like this has sold 1.2 million across multiple platforms, hell just alone recently ahs Stardew valley hit 1 million copies so far alone on PC from just a month and two weeks of being sold, once it eventually hits consoles he'll see more copies sold as a result. There are still plenty of indie games out there that just aren't popular enough to sell millions, that's just how the market works.

Which is exactly my point.
How much hype was there for Stardew Valley before release? Not much.
Got 1m sales in a matter of a few weeks, on only one platform.

Question is, why isn't Shovel Knight anywhere close to 1m sales on PC. Isn't that strange? A game that is in pretty much everyone's top 10 indie games list and even received Game of the Year awards.
