The Sims 3 Enjoys "Best-Selling PC Launch In EA's History" News
EA announces launch weeks sales of 1.4 million for The Sims 3, making it the most successful PC launch in EA history...
By Gwynne DixonPosted: 10/06/2009
Following its US release on June 2nd and June 5th in Europe, The Sims 3 has sold a total of 1.4 million units in its first week on the market, making it the most successful PC launch in EA's long and illustrious history.
Clearly, then, EA's decision to drop the DRM system for The Sims 3 has not affected the game's sales too badly, even if Bloomberg is estimating that EA may lose $9 million through illegal downloads of the game after it was leaked onto torrent sites last month.
There's also been 7 million downloads of user-generated content for The Sims 3 so far, according to EA, while the publisher's Sims 3 app for the iPhone and iPod Touch has retained the No.1 spot on Apple's App Store since its launch.
"With more than a dozen press awards, strong reviewer scores and positive feedback from The Sims community, we are thrilled with the success of The Sims 3 launch and the early sales indicate that we have another hit on our hands," said Rod Humble, Head of the EA Play Label. "The volume of items created with The Sims 3 and downloaded online is a testament to how passionate The Sims players are. It's their world now, we can't wait to see everything players create and share."

We don't edit comments unless they are offensive, as it would be a bit authoritarian of us to delete comments that are just factually wrong (i.e. Sims 3 on PS3).
The 'You May Like This' box above is referring to a different game (Tom Clancy's HAWX), it's just that no box art has been posted for the HAWX directory.
The 'You May Like This' boxes are automatically generated by the site and are supposed to provide other options of games for readers to look at. The Sims 3 directory can be found above on the right hand side, where it clearly states that Sims 3 is only available on PC.
