1.5 million for The Force Unleashed. Anger courses through my veins.

Bearing in mind Force Unleashed is on 6 different platforms, their sales figures don't impress me.

Well, we knew Spore would sell, but it's not going to get the love that The Sims brought out in people. Weird creatures just aren't as lovable as people.

Don't mention Black & White, I'll only end up installing it and playing the first 4.5 levels for the 8 billionth time.

Black & White?

That wasnt a game, it was a high-res tamagotchi! ;)

I merely jest. I did enjoy it though but not enough to get B&W 2

Only a million? I'd say that's low for Spore target standards. Crysis had more and that was a spec beast. :D

There's quite enough Star Wars in Spore already.

I wonder how many people felt okay about downloading it under the slogan "DRM is rubbish". I get the feeling it's probably more than 1 million by now. I can't image all those people would have bought a copy, but I understand some say they did buy an original AND got the pirate version to avoid the DRM.

The 2000 negative reviews on Amerzon can't have helped sales either, especially to the casual player who would be scared their home office work PC would be ruined by it.

Y'know, Clear Sky... That buggy to the point of brokenness prequel to a niche title.

Are you sure about that? Clear Sky hardly touched the charts.. Spore was/still is near the top, I cannot see how Clear Sky sold that many... so I would be surprised by that, but am happy to be corrected as my comment is just an assumption on my part.

Admittedly that's the official website claiming it, though.

You can't really say "Star Wars is expected to sell better because it's on more platforms" given the fact that there are still a billion more PC's in the wild than there are consoles. Install base of all of them is the important figure to note.

I'd have to think 1m after this much time is a disappointment for a game that was so heavily hyped and for so long. EA effed it up, which isn't much of a surprise. They're the US version of Sony: take a good thing and screw it up as best you can.
