The Sims 3 will arrive on PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, and DS this coming autumn amongst a host of platform specific features...
EA has official confirmed that The Sims 3 is coming to consoles following the publisher's first mention of the transition during its Q3 financials in February. However, despite our early hunches that EA might implement Natal and Move tech in the games, both Xbox 360 and PS3 versions appear to be utilising conventional control methods at this stage.
According to the initial press release, the various console platforms will be getting their own specific standout features. In the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions, for example, players will get Facebook integration for in-game rewards, trophies, and achievements as well as item creation and sharing facilities with other players.
An exclusive beach town will then come to the Wii version with an additional head-to-head 'Life Moments' game and exploratory adventure quests, while on the DS players will have the ability to customise their home and individual Sims via the DS' stylus in what EA is calling "the most robust Create a Sim yet for a handheld game".
Other headlining features include a 'Karma Powers' system, which allows players to have impulsive controls over whether their Sims 'get lucky', experience an 'epic fail', or are bestowed with 'instant beauty'. Quite what this means in practice is beyond us right now, although it certainly sounds like players will have more instant power over their Sims' fate than we've seen previously.
"The Sims series continues to be one of the most successful videogames of all time by providing universally appealing content and focusing on the player's imagination, emergent gameplay mechanics, and the innate humour evident in the virtual world of The Sims," said Scott Evans, General Manager of The Sims Studio. "We're building on this foundation and applying new features that will make for a robust, deep and rewarding gameplay experience. I'm extremely proud of the game that the team is making and can't wait to bring these exciting new features like 'Karma Powers' to life and get them into players' hands."

post799,
the sims3 is better on the pc than the consoles. it has way more content, and it is just much nicer to play with a mouse and keyboard.
this is pretty much the only game i'd recommend the pc for rather than consoles though haha.

I am extremely surprised taht EA Games allowed for this to hit the selves in the poor condition that it is in................I have not heard one person speak of anything good ......everyone seems to be experiencing the same problems.....never mind all the stupid glitches of sims who can't work or get stuck in walls and dirty dishes showing up at random places........refirdgerators not being accessable............even my neighbours refridgerator was not working people starving and dropping dead everywhere........once you get to third generation the wii simpley freezes any time that you try to save it.....you can't build anything as it keeps telling you that it is a fire hazard (why give us the option then)..... then my wii stop reading the disk all together........... and now EA games isn't even taking any responsibilty for this.............. they should send out a recall before people run out to buy it as a gift for their loved ones who obviously will be extremely dissapointed........... They are ignoring the issue now just so they can still make money from the christmas rush which is pretty low on their part........... many parents don't have the income to buy stuff like this often and to save money to buy something that doesn't work and obviously EA games must know about the ongoing issues is pretty low on their part............... boo!!!!! :( to EA games on rushing out a product without properly testing it on the appropriate platforms...............

I have had nothing but problems with the sims 3 for wii
there are so many glitches that its frustrating to play, which sucks cause the sims is so fun.
i cant buy ANYTHING because it says my free space is full and its a fire hazord..
so i sold everything i owned even my HOUSE. to clear my free space. and i still can not do anything.
random dirty dishes pop up on in random places so then i cant use the item that its placed by.
(like the fridge. you cant open it, sell, or delete it. so you have to have more than one fridge after it happens.)
my sims turn invisible sometimes and i can see their thought bubbles but i can see their bodies.
my sim walked passed a trash can and got stuck in it haha.
its seriously mind boggling that there are so many problems. and i have read many sites that have reviews and a lot of them have the exact same problems i have..
its almost like EA had a deadline to be done by and they didnt reach it so they just put it on the shelves anyway unfinished.
i definitly reccoment waiting to see if they recall it or just get it for the PC.... cause it sucks.
