I haven't seen most of the shows in the top ten, but I did check out Doraemon - a true classic. Doraemon himself is a terrific character that deserves his status as an international icon.

Yeah...fanboyism of epic porpotions does that. Likewise, from visiting forums and anime blogs,Gundam SEED Destiny is the worst anime of all time and Sunrise makes nothing but anime-train-wrecks, but look at it's DVD sales? Even the Special Editions that's nothing more than a glorified recap is selling more than Haruhi.
Really, Haruhi is indeed popular within anime circles, but it's a popularity that hasn't really extended out of the box. Let's not forget that Haruhi is not a prime-time slotted anime. It's not going to beat the likes of Doraemon, Sazae-san or Detective Conan in terms of ratings, not in a million years, unless Haruhi suddenly became the greatest thing in the Japanimation ever since Tezuka and Miyazaki, combined.
