I doubt Winter...earliest would be next Spring or maybe they'll wait until Fall 2014.
Anyway, as for novel sales, I'm really pleased with how it's doing even though an Index anime isn't airing right now. We've seen with Oreimo, Shana, ZnT, and other series that sales tank hard after the anime has been off for a while. Even though Index sales have slowed from what they were last year/2011 with books selling in the mid-high 200k range it's still awesome to see that the fanbase is so strong it can retain 150k on Oricon without an anime running.
