Not true. FFX sucked ass, wasn't that popular, and I still hate Tidus more than possibly any character to ever appear in a video game (with an honorary mention to Tingle).
Wait... Maybe I just hate Tidus' outfit. Deep down, I'm sure he's a really nice guy. It's not his fault his mother still dresses him (and that his mother happens to be Helen Keller).
