EA has revealed that Spore has now clocked over 1 million in sales since launching for the PC, Mac and DS platforms on September 7.

Spore is also currently sitting atop the US game charts and is expected to stay there for some time.

"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."

Spore's executive producer, Lucy Bradshaw, added: 'We're humbled by how quickly the community has taken to the creativity tools in Spore.

"It's amazing to see the sheer imagination represented in the hundreds and thousands of creatures, vehicles and buildings that have been uploaded around the clock since launch."

Spore might not have reached the 1 million mark as quick as some of its competitors - most notably Star Wars: The Force Unleashed - but it's expected to have a much longer tail.
