There seems to be some perception that the Gundam brand sells, which is why the self-percieved image that GSD and SEED sucks still allow them to sell well, which I'm disputing with previous Gundam sales, which shows that SEED stood on it's own damn well. The only difference is that they appeal to a different crowd.
And I like SEED and GSD, contrary to popular opinion. It's just that there are people who just so easily throw the "It sold well because it's GUNDAM" crap simply because they dislike the show. That stand is understandable, but it's like asking a mahou shoujo or SUPER robot hater why the hell is Sailor Moon SO goddamn popular and why illogical shows of Giant Robots with moving lips and loud shouts literally gave birth to anime's Golden Era. Or why the hell one of the most illogical sports anime/manga currently, Prince of Tennis is selling well with tons of character songs, OVAs, etc.
