PC - The Sims 3 - Analyst: Sims 3 Could Sell 4 Million In '09 Electronic Arts' upcoming Sims 3 could sell over 4 million units in 2009, says Janco Partners analyst Mike Hickey -- although he expects that a demographic transition toward newer entertainment forms like Nintendo's Wii and DS might weigh on the title.

Sims 2 sold an estimated 3.5 units in calendar 2004, so the analyst expects the anticipated sequel to outdo its predecessor.

PC - The Sims 3 - Sims 3 Won't Use Online Copy Protection The Spore DRM copy-protection backlash won't be happening to The Sims 3, given the news that broke just minutes ago. EA has announced that The Sims 3 will only use serial-number copy protection. Buy the game, input the serial number that comes with the game, and you're good to go.

From the blog of Rod Humble, head of EA's Sims and Casual division:

"The game will have disc-based copy protection – there is a Serial Code just like The Sims 2. To play the game there will not be any online authentication needed.

We feel like this is a good, time-proven solution that makes it easy for you to play the game without DRM methods that feel overly invasive or leave you concerned about authorization server access in the distant future."

PC - The Sims 3 - EA: Open World Sims Is a Risk With The Sims 3 being the first full new Sims game for four years, Maxis has said it's intent on taking risks to push the series forward.

One such risk is the introduction of an open world environment, which allows you to explore the town with your Sims rather than being constrained to the previous game's home 'lots'.

This might not be to everyone's taste though, according to MJ Chun, associate producer at The Sims Division.

PC - The Sims 3 - The Sims 3 Rated Teen by ESRB It's no surprise that The Sims 3 has been rated Teen by the ESRB. However, there's a nifty new feature of the ESRB ratings, and that is many games now come with descriptors of gameplay that explain the rating.

Those of you who were concerned about it, The Sims 3 will maintain its same-sex sexual intercourse, er, "Woo-Hoo", and yes, the game is unaffected by Proposition 8 - it will have marriage as well, and unlike West Virginia, gay couples can adopt, and contrary to Rick Warren's ideology, they are not preying on minors, either.
