Lollipop Chainsaw ships 700,000 copies

I wonder how many people bought the game just to peek under the skirt of the girl... :-P

Grasshopper's most underrated game has to be Contact. The ending was as good as Mother 3 in the "Let's make the player feel strange emotions" category.

Sex sells

Marketing 101: Boobs sell.

Proof that sex and zombies sells. i predict zombies in Lara Croft's next outing.

Too bad Shadows was severely short changed in the reviews.

imagine how pissed off people would be if that was a womans head handing off a dudes butt.  yeah think about that backlash the next time someoine calls this game offensive.

ps  this is not in relation to review or the shipping numbers its just a random comment

A shipping number isn't nearly as impressive as a sales number.

I m glad lollipop worked but shadows deserved to do better. Just saying..

Such a fun game. such a crazy game too. funny.

good game

It's kind of shocking as it felt like kind of a lazy effort in that it's kind of a cut down No More Heroes. Simpler combat, less challenge, fewer bosses, less variety. I mean I enjoyed it for all of the three play sessions it took to finish but it's definitely Suda 51's weakest game.

So there's the lesson. Pour your soul into doing something different and make a great game that sells 24,000 copies. Phone in a game with gameplay that's an inferior rehash of one of your previous games, put zombies, chainsaws in it and have cheerleader school girl on the cover, sell 700,000.

I guess chainsaw games are like chainsaw movies: they meet unexpected success...

The only thing pathetic about this is all this commenters feeling so butt-hurt because the game they hate happen to be successful.  The game is a entertaining tribute to the old arcades, does a good job into that so: sorry for you if you are not old enough to get the jokes, deal with it.

Glad that, although noisy, they are still a minority of the gaming comunity...

On a related note, I sure do hope James Gunn get that job directing Guardians of The Galaxy.

A damn good game from a damn fine developer!

Like most Suda 51 games, LC was an aquired taste that paid homage to a particular set of influences. I thoroughly enjoyed the game and am glad of it's success, but have no qualms in saying that Shadows of The Damned was a much finer product across the board, and out of all of his current gen offerings, I think it's definitley the one that a lot of people missed out on.

Fanservice sells, plain and simple. 

if she was naked i'd buy it

I'm happy that Grashopper has finally found success. It does show how great of a publisher WB really is :) The only sad news is that EA isn't that great of a publisher, and they pushed Shadows of the Damned out without so much as an ad--or stock at GameStop. This is certainly a fun and creative game, though it's Suda's weakest to date. I wish Shadows got these sale instead, but here's hoping that his next game will be amazing and sell well :D

Good for Grasshopper and Lollipop. New IPs have a tough time in the market.

this industry is really going downhill 

Incredibly stupid game, anyway. PUT SOME CLOTHES ON!!!

Again, in a huge surprise, people complain about good news. This is a failing industry where new IPs are demanded by gamers and then they don't buy them. They complain this is "shipped" numbers, well it's kind of impossible to tell how many are sold without guessing. Just be glad that people are supporting our industry, and not just saying the game is terrible.

Great news, I enjoyed LC though I only rented it. I might pick it up in the future again though when it's down in price.

kinda excited for the next suda joint so heres hoping

Here we see proof once again that chimps can be trained to play video games.

I'm still waiting for this to drop in price.

Goichi Suda's most recent games seem to be struggling to live up to the genius that was Killer 7. Mind you, that is just my opinion. 

all these games from the great suda51 are beginning to feel like shovelware

Good to see it did fairly well....

699, 999 of those copies are in gamestop's used game refurbishment center coming soon to the bargain basement bin near you.
