Spore at number two on latest NPD Group top 10 best seller list

With Electronic Arts choosing to put their alien evolution sim Spore on sale on Sunday, September 7 that meant that the latest list of the top 10 best selling retail PC games could only record one day of sales for the title. Even with that handicap, Spore still managed to show up at number two on the list for its debut on the charts, this time for the week ending (natch) September 7.

The Sims 2 Apartment Life expansion pack remained at number one for the second week in a row while a limited collector's version of the expansion debuted at number 8. The rest of the list is basically a reshuffling of last week's list with the exception of Crysis which popped up again after several months in the number 10 slot. A reduced price combined with the upcoming release of Crysis Warhead likely were the main reasons for this move.

1. The Sims 2 Apartment Life - Electronic Arts
2. Spore - Electronic Arts
3. Spore Creature Creator - Electronic Arts
4. World Of Warcraft: Battle Chest - Blizzard
5. The Sims 2 Double Deluxe - Electronic Arts
6. World of Warcraft - Blizzard
7. World Of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade - Blizzard
8. The Sims 2 Apartment Life Collector's Edition - Electronic Arts
9. Warcraft III Battle Chest - Blizzard
10. Crysis - Crytek/EA
