NEWS: Fate Is #1 Franchise in Collective CD, Book, Video Sales for March

Okay....why is this particularly worth mentioning for this specific month? What about other months then as this feature does go back a ways? Is this going to be a new feature or something or is ANN just trying to make a quota by fishing Yaraon for random tidbits of interest related news cause it looks like the latter in this case as it has for a while now with certain articles?

Futhermore where's the tidbit of information pointing out that the previous 2 months Fate couldn't even make the top 20, but that other franchises for this month that's on there. I get the need to constantly push, promote, hype and celebrate the Fate franchise of late, but it's kind of getting a little tiresome now with news tidbits clearly being centered around very thinly veiled promotions of certain titles and products (it does not go unnoticed that the article writer made sure to not only plug but directly link to where one can buy the product as it pertains to Fate which wasn't in the original Yaraon article, but none of the other titles mentioned in the list), particularly for certain sponsors of the site. Like if one wants to put this under the interest label (I'd almost be tempted to suggest putting it under advertisement) fine, but this doesn't really strike me as important "news" in the sense that something like the articles immediately following it does.

Those sale figures of Fate are total, 2015, or just of March?

anime series, anime series, and then at the very bottom suddenly 24 starring Kiefer Suderland. Though the only one of these franchise I care about is Kancolle. Nice to see it up there.

Wow dude you're mad as hell.

The interesting thing is that such an uknown franchise as Fate is at top #1, because let's be real: nobody knows Fate in japan besides otaku. It is common to see One Piece or any other Shonen Jump franchise at top #1 along with other Light Novel crap stuff, but Fate? That's neat.
