Forums - Sales - So Are the Sim 3....1.2 Million 1st Week Sales Impressive?

"the best-selling PC launch in EA's history.'' so yeah darth, it's very good.

And it's 1.4m not 1.2m.




Around the Network

I saw Sims top the chartz for years when I still cared to look at the charts.



Tease.

Sims 3 will be in the top 3 of PC game charts around the world until they release the Sims 4



There was likely 3 million downloads



Sims 3 was the biggest selling PC game for EA, so yeah, it's amazing.

Like other have said, Sims 3 defines "legs" and will keep on selling for years and years. It will no doubt reach 15 millions copies.



Around the Network

Yeah, this game will continue to sell well.



Not only that but the expansions will probably open at 1 million each as well. And they always release like 6 or 7 per iteration.



You should compare it to games like Wii Fit, with its 250k opening week sales, and epic legs, than any blockbuster game with 50% of the sales on the first week, other 45% on the first month, and 5% later.

Also, the 100 million comes from the billion different versions. The Sims 1 and The Sims 2 both sold in the 10millions area.



That's a lot. And it's the type of casual game that keeps selling indefinetly.



Check out my game about moles ^

Sims is mostly selling by legs, someone plays at someone's house and goes to buy....



don't mind my username, that was more than 10 years ago, I'm a different person now, amazing how people change ^_^
