Doubt it. It seems to me there are many things American that Japanese like, I can't imagine the gamers would be carrying a grudge.
I am guessing part of it is due to ethnocentrism - just as Americans like to promote "buying American" (though we often don't), the Japanese likely have a natural bias towards Japanese products.
The rest is likely cultural. A Japanese company making Japanese products for Japanese people is more likely to understand what that market wants than an American company.
