Sims 3 to Sell 4M in 2009
Filed under: EA, THE SIMS 3, GAME SALES
Analyst Mike Hickey predicts that EA's approaching game The Sims 3 -- slated to launch during June -- could sell up to 4 million units this year. This means it would surpass sales of The Sims 2, which sold 3.5 million units in its first year. Mind you, Hickey also believes that there will be an impact of the "demographic transition towards newer entertainment forms like Nintendo's Wii and DS."

"With such a vibrant and active community as The Sims has, we wanted to build even further on the already immense offline experience, by offering players additional functionality, content and tools available online through the game," said Ben Bell, executive producer on The Sims 3.

Numbers. What else would The Sims 3 be about?

what if these sims were actual living beings that are kept somewhere for who knows what purpose and we are actually just running the matrix that's keeping them from reality, that's keeping them from freedom we shouldn't abide by this we should release these poor beings from their captors instead of joining the ranks of the wardens, do you wish to keep this "sims" from the freedom they deserve.

I find this Sims phenomena rather suspicious.
I mean, really, I have not yet met anybody (in person) who plays The Sims.

Unless all of them are occupying some isolated farm in Tibet (kinda Amish style), it’s hard for me to believe in the Sims player existence.

And BTW, I don’t believe Sword Fight is telling us the truth.
Remember, trust no one; this is a conspiracy.

people who are so seriously brain-washed by fox, they can't even think of better game to purchase than what fox tells them to...
