Sort of. Depends on the frame of reference. I think if we looked at things from our 2017 vantage point, we'd have been very surprised. But, after the sales of BOTW, Mario Odyssey, Super Mario Party, etc, I think we understood the trend. By the time Metroid Dread came out, I think people expected it to be the best selling Metroid game, which I'm pretty sure it is or will be.

True. It's probably not a big surprise anymore (just as Kirby and the Forgotten Land possibly becoming the best selling Kirby game won't surprise anybody). Metroid Dread is currently the 3rd best selling Metroid game behind Prime 1 and Prime 3. 

Dreamland is the only one it may have difficulty passing, but I think it will beat it pretty cleanly.
