EA has announced that Maxis’ Spore has sold more than one million copies worldwide. Spore went on sale for PC, Mac and Nintendo DS on September 7 – it’s also available for the iPhone.

“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.”

Gamers haven’t simply been staring at the box either. According to EA more than 25 million creatures, vehicles and buildings have been uploaded to Sporepedia for the rest of the world to see.

“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.”
