Let's bring the ka-ching!It makes Capcom worth more than a pretty penny. WorthPlaying reports that Lost Planet sold a little over one million copies in North America and Europe combined, according to investment firm FISCO. That's a lot of people trudging through the snow of E.D.N. III, looking (in-game) very much like a hot-ticket Korean actor, conducting a little pest control drill and getting some heat in the process. The future of space exploration.

Maybe the Western games research really paid off with Western audiences. Then there's the Vital Suit gameplay, which did win over Japanese reviewers. And that demo did help in exposing the world to the game - not to mention show how sensitive and kind-hearted Capcom is to correct small flaws like unreadable text all over again.

All of which still adds up to one very happy Capcom jumping all over the place while wearing foam Servbot heads. Not to mention a very happy Microsoft, whose Xbox 360 platform is the host for one very Lost, but very hot-selling Planet. Maybe they're dancing around wearing foam Servbot heads, too - or not.

Capcom VERY happy.
