Some Magazines wrote that the reason is that american players prefer action games and do not pay much attention to build up games. And as you wrote there where no really new features in the later settler games. Interesting that japan gamers are pleased with them.

I suppose it's a bit of an exaggeration to say--

Americans only play action games;
Germans only play strategic titles;
the Japanese will buy any game in a series once they like the first...

But the tendency is there. Myself, though I'm an American, I don't like (and never have liked) action games. I prefer strategy titles, RPGs and non-tactical sims. Each to their own.
