Page 1 of 2 ! Both Electronic Arts (Spore) and LucasArts (Star Wars: The Force Unleashed) are currently swimming in sales.  But who is king of this week’s games heap? Electronic Arts has been battling a little PR storm with the DRM riddled Spore .  But in the meantime, sales of the game don’t seem to have been affected. Since hitting the market world-wide on September 7th, Spore has sold through more than 1 million copies on PC, Mac and Nintendo DS.  As a result, more than 25 million Spore spawned creatures , vehicles and buildings now inhabit the online Sporepedia. "Spore is a hit," said Frank Gibeau, president of the EA Games Label.  "Will Wright's latest delivers an incredibly diverse game that appeals to casual gamers and the core alike.  We're off to a great start moving into the holiday season and believe Spore will deliver a platform of creativity for gamers of all stripes for years to come." "We're humbled by how quickly the community has taken to the creativity tools in Spore," said Lucy Bradshaw, vice president of Maxis and Spore's executive producer. "It's amazing to see the sheer imagination represented in the hundreds of thousands of creatures, vehicles and buildings that have been uploaded around the clock since launch." You may have noticed another blockbuster game has hit the market recently.  Sporting the Star Wars moniker, and appearing on every platform known to man, beast and oddly conceived alien life form, there was no way Star Wars: The Force Unleashed was going to be swept under the gaming-hype carpet. We liked the game here at iTWire, but how did it go in the market place – click on to page two for the Spore vs Star Wars: The Force Unleashed sales showdown. << First page <   1 2 Next page > Last page - Post your comment >>
