What surprises me the most is that G senjou is third, despite it wasn't exactly unanimous, considering the unbalanced content.

Reception doesn't necessarily matter since first week sales (it's about pre-release anticipation, not whether a game is good, bad, or awesome) really dictate how well a game places.
At any rate, it's the momentum from Sharin no Kuni, Himawari no Shoujo. The team released what was perceived to be a godly game, so word of mouth hype propelled the next one to new heights.

I was expecting a better place for Ef, though, thinking about it, it seems a bit more normal, considering that first tale wasn't exactly a best seller.

Yes, you don't usually expect direct sequels to sell as well as the original. That's especially true if reception was mixed (those who didn't like the first probably won't buy the second).
