The only problem is that US customers so far haven't discovered their love for such games yet.

That's part of it. But I think the biggest part of it is that football is pretty much a religion in most of the world, and the only real pro sport in town. In North America, it's different. There are the "big four" sports that each have its own devoted followers. That divides the potential market up quite a bit. If baseball was as revered in North America the way football is elsewhere in the world, I think things would be different. (The closest thing to the way football is revered in most of the world involving another sport would be hockey in Canada. Here, that sport is pretty much a religion for most folks.)
