I'd argue expectations for Pokémon were higher than the result we got before the big controversy. After the controversy people went all the way in the other direction and lowered expectations too much making it look like Pokémon exceeded expectations. But if you would have told people 2 years ago that the first console Pokemon would sell in the same range as Gold and Silver no one would have been surprised. Animal Crossing is a whole different beast though.
