Popularity in Japan is a difficult thing to describe.
Most of the games and shows which are considered popular in Japan have been around much longer than anything in the rest of the world.
E.g. Gundam is still at the height of it's popularity after over 30 or so years, with consistent game, anime, manga, movie and toy releases.
Western games are fickle, once every now and then a Halo game is released, and the books and toys are just as infrequent.
There's no stability, and with each major release a marketing campaign is needed to bring it back to people's attention.
Not only that, but the Xbox doesn't have such a large fanbase there, not just because nintendo and sony were there first, but because they can't afford to give the Xbox the push everything else in Japan got when it started out.
But to be fair, Japanese people don't hate Halo, most of the people I've met don't even know what it is.
^This guy has it about right.

I guess they just don't have some of the same interests as we do.
No need to single them out. There are a lot of people who didn't enjoy the Halo games.
And so does this guy.
