Japanese culture has little experience with modern weapons. Modern weapons only really became important to the culture in the early 1900's, up until the end of WWII. After that, gun possession became illegal in the country and it ceased to have a significant military. Since modern weapons are such an alien concept to the culture, Japanese are probably not nearly as interested in a genre which is not only based on but emphasizes the concept of modern warfare.
On the other hand, America is a nation where one of the fundamental rights of citizens as outlined by the federal constitution is the possession of guns. Today, the debate seems to be more about whether to loosen gun-related restrictions even further than about making possession illegal, and the nation's army is by far the strongest in the world. It is not too surprising that many Americans feel at home with a genre based on modern weapons.
