Why gamers don't buy a game because it is for another console?

Why do Japanese love Monster Hunter so much? I tried the first one and it was really bad. Are the others better?

I played the one on the Wii (Monster Hunter Tri) and it was really good, the online give it much more depth (and it didn't have friend codes!!!), but if you didn't like the first one I highly doubt you would like any other, since the gameplay mechanic is pretty much the same. 

Monster Hunter is like a what COD is to the west, people go nuts when it comes to that game, but to specifically name what made the series so famous I can't really tell.
