The article is (SUPPOSEDLY) talking about Japan.
Isn't Japan a historically non-shooter demographic? I recall Metroid not doing as well in Japan, nor Halo of any kind. Or most shooters.
Japan is not the US when considering these types of statistics. I'd be more interested in the possibility of Japanese gamers appreciating a different style of play (rail shooters is certainly a different play-style than free-roam).
IF the article is right, and if anyone read it. 
Numbers: Checker Players > Halo Players
Checkers Age and replayability > Halo Age and replayability
Therefore, Checkers > Halo
So, Checkers is a better game than Halo.
