Where did you get these stats @.@

Because LP only has 6 Games

Lost Planet Extreme Conditions PC & Xbox 360 & PS3 (3)
Lost Planet Colonies PC & Xbox 360 (2)
Lost Planet Zero Mobile Game (1)

thats 6 because if it counts LP 2 its not even out yet so they can't have sold any

My guess is that with LP2 announced it has gone into the list even though it is not out yet.

They should concentrate a bit on Breath of Fire. There are plenty of people who love RPGs out there, and the old Breath of Fire games were as addictive as the Final Fantasy series. Go on Capcom! Or maybe, make an RPG from another of your series. I think a Devil May Cry RPG could work quite well...

No surprise SF2 is top especially when it was bundled with the SNES for ages before it was released by itself

[Jarlino]

The big joke is that, every time a new game is released from these series (Street Fighter, Megaman, Monster Hunter) they get praised as "Capcom's best selling game".

Hmmm, with the super hype in Japan, I was expecting Sengoku Basara to be above the Lost Planet series.
Thanks for the update Spike!

Resident Evil series FTW

I was surprised by the fact that a game from 1992 was the top seller, but itsmyyard clarified that

I'm surprised Resi 5's sold so much already
