I see a couple reasons.

First, Brandon planned this well. He made a video Monday heavily implying bad news. For loyal fans waiting a day to hear the news caused quite a stir I assume. Then making such a huge unexpected announcement the next day caught many people off guard.

Second, announcing four new books is not common! Especially considering he wrote them while working on many other books over the last two years. I think people are just excited and happy to share something positive.
