PC - Spore - GDC: Pollinating the Universe IGN writes: "Caryl Shaw's vast experience managing the user-generated content in Maxis' The Sims serves her well in her new role as the head architect behind the sharing of user-created content in Spore. She shared her views in a recent session that made us even more intrigued by the idea that players, not developers, can be in charge of the actual creatures, structures and vehicles found throughout the game. Of course, that's a tall order and one that presents many potential complications, but Caryl outlined her ideas for the system very convincingly."

PC - Spore - Spore expected to sell 3-5 million in 2008 GamesIndustry.biz's Phil Elliott writes: Although most people seem to agree that there's a healthy anticipation building around the forthcoming Will Wright project, Spore, there's also some feeling that its publisher Electronic Arts must manage expectation about its performance and appeal.

"I think Spore will do at least 3 million units as a packaged product, and if it's as good as it looks, it has the potential to do twice that," said Wedbush Morgan's Michael Pachter.

And the simExchange is currently predicting that the PC and as-yet-unannounced DS editions of the game could combine for 7.5 million units in its lifetime, while its analyst Jesse Divnich believes it could fall "victim to the expectations that EA has set up for the title."
