EA lately announced that The Sims 3 will be released on the game consoles in 2010.
EA confirmed that the game will be released on the Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DS and the Playstation 3 this autumn.

The new versions for the consoles will include all-new features such as the “Karma Powers”. The Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 versions will get an online exchange system in which you can download and share content with other players. The Wii version will include a “Life Moments” multiplayer mode which helps you to get familiar with your town and to search for the hidden secrets. On the Nintendo DS players can build their own houses and customize every object. With the stylus players will be able to make the Sims’ facial features and dress them properly.

An EA producer said: “This is the best console and handheld game we have known from The Sims. Building on the unique traits system, living open neighborhood, lifetime wishes, and endless customization options, we’ve tailored each platform of The Sims 3 with exclusive features to allow for even more control, creativity, and connectivity.”

The transition of the Nintendo DS to the Nintendo 3DS is in the eyes of Nintendo just as large as the transition of the Gameboy to the Nintendo DS according to the website Soak Businnes.

Although Nintendo releases a lot of different game computers, Nintendo says that the hardware is not the most important thing. The software is more important, because this new 3D features are really amazing.

“The Nintendo 3DS is our next portable platform. For us it is not the new technology that is the most important. It is our target to reach certain costumers, and that the target is the creation of an amusing experience for the consumer.”

Nintendo does not say much of the Nintendo 3DS, even the name is uncertainly yet. As for now we speak about the Nintendo ’3DS’. The new portable game computer of Nintendo will have a 3D-screen on which players can see 3D-images and games without any 3D glasses. Nintendo will show the Nintendo 3DS in the summer during the E3 Expo in Los Angeles for the first time.
