Well, that's life. No one guaranteed them that their books would sell. They should quit crying and work on making their writing so good that unexpected sales won't affect them so much. Maybe I'm being insensitive, but I'm fed up with people constantly whining and acting like life owes them something. Tolkien was a great writer, and if his books are selling, it's because he was very talented and earned the recognition he is recieving today.
