This franchise will surely continue to be on a profitable roll, having created an upset where they steamrolled over a certain other idol show based on a real-life girl group.

Maki wasn't unexpected, but the anime really killed all Nico's chance of ever being in the top 3.

I just wish the creative Kawamori that brought us stuff like the original Macross, Plus and Escaflowne would come back instead of this kind of crappy all but sell out idol fanboy he's apparently been replaced with. What the hell happened to this guy anyway, I mean other than Macross Frontier everything he's been involved with in the 21st century has been kind of terrible to mediocre at best.
As for why AKB0048 not being the success Love Live is despite having the star power of the real life AKB48 behind it I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest it was a combination of better production values, less frankly kind of creepy character designs (the design for Love Live looks like they obsessed over the detail for each individual character), tighter more focused writing that relied less on gimmicks (Mari Okada sigh) and kind of better songs. Also AKB0048 had more IMO try hard moments while Love Live just sort of looked to do it's thing like it was effortless. I think though at the end of the day Sunrise Studio 8 production>Satelight production in general made the difference. Just a bad season to go head to head with them like Satelight tried to, it would have been smarter to do what Idolmaster did and just do it's own thing when there's basically just zero competition like summer 2011.
Anyway this selection was kind of a foregone conclusion as Maki is the shows super invincible tier perfect ojou character anyway. It's like the producers wanted her to be the runaway popular character since they basically gave her all positive traits top down.

I dunno, I found Maki to be "just above the bottom tier" of the cast as far as the anime depiction went, she was like number 5 or 6 for me.

Nozomi placed last in every round before this, and Kotori placed higher.

(TL;DR) |
Simply put, much of the Japanese anime and 2D idol fandom thinks the real-life group is too overrated for their tastes, which is why LL gets the preferential treatment at, um, Yaraon.
This franchise sold much like hotcakes also because unlike real-life idols, the fan has greater control as a "producer" on what he wants his chosen girl -- called "oshimen" -- to, say, wear a certain costume by vote.

So like...you didn't watch the show?
Anyway, Maki is amazing and thoroughly deserved this win. I hope she and Nico celebrated all night long (in bed)

Dude Nico/Maki's pretty much the main Love Live ship. Go check Pixiv. And even the official art gets in on it.

...and the girl who's my personal #1 gets no love 
Actually wait, has Rin always placed that high? I guess the whole catgirl/shaking maracas bit works.

As far as the anime is concerned, Rin was an outright unnecesary character, I was a bigger fan of the unnamed girls helping behind the scenes than of Rin.
