To be fair, most of the reason for that, is that SE did really poor advertising outside Japan. Inside Japan they had promo events, tv ads and the like. Outside? We got like 1 commercial in 2002 that came on maybe once or twice and never really showed back up again. There were also very few ads for it online, unlike a certain mmo (WoW), that force fed you ads daily on practically every page you went to.
You can release anything and say it's not popular if you don't advertise for it.
