The thing that worries me is that 'accessible' thing they are talking about. I just hope it doesn't mean dumbing down the complex mechanism in SimCity like Societies does. Hopefully, Maxis has a better idea of doing that. Besides, Maxis doesn't have Will Wright anymore....

I get what you mean, but I've always had the impression that the menu system in SimCty 4 could be better and that change alone could make it much more accessible.

As for whether they're going to release the console one, I am not so sure they will do that. Because, most of simulation games like this end up failed in console. But who knows.... I think there is a better chance they will come to the handheld like 3DS/DS or Vita/PSP instead.

I can't see it on Xbox360/PS3 either, but I can't see it on Vita either, not enough space for all the menus and the map. With 3DS you can use the lower screen just for the menus so it could work.

I think WiiU could also be a good place for it, with the city on the TV and the menus and construction grid on the controller, and using the stylus to draw. It could really work.
