I think it's a game where the objective is to build and design a city, maintain it, and ensure its survival, along the way facing natural disasters as well as monsters...etc (aka enemies)

I think there's one pretty big thing you're missing here and that even though a game may appear to be just single player, the player actually faces the in-game AI as well as the challenge of the game's level design,puzzles...etc

What do you think it is?

Doesn't matter what I think.

Will Wright says it's a toy.

A quote on the matter: "SimCity inspired a new genre of video games. "Software toys" that were open-ended with no set objective were developed trying to duplicate SimCity's success" - - - - But I say it does have an objective and you can fail at it.

Wikipedia says: "SimCity is a critically acclaimed city-building simulation video game", guess which definition I trust more... So it doesn't really matter what the creator of the game says. He didn't create the english language, nor does he appear to be any good at comprehending it.

I think he just wanted to create some buzz for his game by saying something controversial like that. Peter Molyneux anyone?
