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 PlayStation 3 has the highest percentage of users in the United States that uses the online services via a broadband connection. This appeared from an investigation of the investigation desk The Diffusion Group, for which two thousand men have been interrogated. 78 percent of the PS3-bezitters has made connection with the internet, opposite 73 percent for Xbox 360 and 54 percent for the Nintendo Wii.

The gloss is that we here speak over percentages. We could also say: “Wii has the most online users”, because the most Wii-owners have their console connected to the internet. From figures of NPD Group appeared that if you multiply the installed base of all the consoles multiplied with the percentage users that goes online, the most Wii’s are connected to the internet.
