Sims 3 teaser posted, more info coming March 19

If there was any doubt that EA would continue to milk the lucrative cash cow that is Will Wright's Sims franchise, that doubt can now be officially expelled. EA has created an official page for the next title in the series -- titled, appropriately enough, The Sims 3.

The Sims 3 wants you to go outside (in the game)
joystiq.com - March 6, 2008
Submitted by grimlock49 (647) at 6:13PM PST on March 6, 2008
We always found The Sims to be sort of depressing. While creating a virtual replica of your life may seem like an amusing activity at first, you -- like us -- may find the distant view through an LCD window to be both startling and uncomfortable. Yes, we can see our house from here. And we can see that it's an empty, meaningless shell bereft of human interaction outside of the occasional pizza delivery boy teleporting into the driveway.

The Sims 3 - Detailed review by CVG
CVG - March 19, 2008
Submitted by NeoZero (101) at 10:10AM PST on March 19, 2008
"When we started work on The Sims 3," says Rod as he shows us an early prototype, "I had two directives for the Sims team. One: it's not going to work unless you can cross the street and see your neighbour's kids playing. And two: no more hamster cages." The hamster cage refers to the typical gamer complaint about The Sims: that it's sometimes nothing more than directing your chosen character from the bath, to the fridge, to the toilet.

Well EA has just unleashed a massive amount of answers in the form a a 30-question Q&A document that covers everything from the new character personality system to what kind of parties your sims can participate in. Of course the big question on all major fans of the series is whether or not The Sims 2 expansion they spent hundreds of dollars on would be hitting the trash bin. You might be needing a bigger bin.[ Oracle ] [ Level 19 ] [ Rank: 46 ]Permalink | Reply1 bids

Now the team is getting ready for an impressive round three with a new sequel that will offer much more in the way of customization options, social options, character behavior, and in-depth careers. We got an up-close look of the game and have much to report.

@lstormy10,
I talked it over with some of the Wikipedia folk and the most recent credible number we've been able to find is 16 million units in 2005.

@Jamix012,
The current price definitely needs to come down - but, the numbers that I can find reflect the original Sims having about 6.3 million sales and The Sims 2 having about 13 million sales currently - though these numbers could include expansions.
As of this time, I believe that with so little information available about this title at this time, the current price should come down at least a handful of million units.
I do believe that it is fair to estimate an increase in the total number of units sold over The Sims 2.

@Joe80,
Gamespot puts the original sims 6.3 million worldwide in its first year and though it may have legs i doubt it sold 10 million after the first year so this would probably put the original LOWER than the number on VGchartz.

@Jamix012,
Are there any figures outside of VGC, they are probably fairly accurate on this but I'd like to see other figures to compare.
