Last week, Spore hit the number two slot on the NPD Group's list of the top 10 best selling PC games since it was released for the week ending September 7. Now that Spore is truly out in the wild it's already starting to look like a Sims success for its publisher Electronic Arts as no less than three Spore franchise games have appeared on the latest top 10 list for games sold in the week ending September 13.

Spore itself is at number one on the list followed by the more expensive Spore Galactic Edition at number 2. The $9.99 Spore Creature Creator continues on the list; it shows up at number 4. Most of the rest of the list is a reshuffling of the players from last week.

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

I said it earlier this year that WoW's biggest competitor wouldn't be any MMO, it would be Spore. We'll have to see how Warhammer does on this list next time around, though.Posted at 7:25PM on Sep 23rd 2008 by Mike Schramm

I'm sure a ton of people picked up Spore as I did (wow and warhammer player) but had i known i would be bored and lose intrest after the 3rd day i wouldn't have bothered.
The best feature about the game is the creature, that's free online.
