If you're thinking of Angel Beats, that was hugely popular too. And that's actually another case where I'd argue that the sheer profile of the show is a major part of its sales success.
Conversely, I suspect that Nichijou's sales failure is in large part because it never attained the same profile. Something I see due to a number of factors. For one, I don't think its as marketable as K-On! Second, I wonder if the sheer scale of K-On!'s success probably actually made it harder for KyoAni to follow up on it - old project retaining attention that could go to the new one, basically.
