\\\"The fact that was competing against Puella Magi Madoka Magica and the 2011 earthquake and tsunami hit Japan near the end of its airing (subsequently reducing the market afterwards) didn\\\'t help matters, either.\\\"

In the sense of ratings (which it probably isn\\\'t referring to anyway), the information I checked says they aired in different timeslots. Blu-ray sales are even more unequivocal since Madoka\\\'s success doesn\\\'t appear to have significantly hindered anything else that aired or is being released contemporaneously, especially Infinite Stratos. Alongside the second volume of Madoka, which has broken the record sales of the first, four other shows have sold over 10,000 copies in their first week, with Tiger & Bunny apparently not even having enough copies to meet demand.

Additionally, the earthquake should have affected all anime sales pretty much equally, so it wouldn\\\'t have much impact on its ranking among them, but it\\\'s also faring rather miserably in that respect from what I can tell. In all likelihood, most of the potential audience was offended by the overinflated egos and very, very big mouth behind what turned out to be not so different from anything they were supposedly trying to rise above. Madoka may have gleefully rubbed salt into an open wound, but I seriously doubt she inflicted it.
