The Sims - Over 100 Million Units Sold Worldwide!

Vito Raliffe | April 16, 2008 | News | PC Playstation 2

EA has announced that The Sims surpassed over 100 million units sold worldwide, further cementing its place as the top-selling game of all time.

The top-selling video game of all time has just surpassed another milestone, as EA announced that The Sims, which has been released in more than 20 different languages, has now sold 100 million copies the world over since it sprang from the mind of super-developer Will Wright in 2000. The first game's expansion-laden release was followed by The Sims 2 in the fall of 2004, while the recently announced The Sims 3 will drop sometime in 2009, for the first time letting sims venture beyond their front doors and into the neighborhood.

Definitely deserves it. Sims is quite entertaining and addictive. Spent a good few months on the first game...then one of my characters got sick from the downloadable pet gerbil thing (damn that rodent!) and I stopped playing after a few expansions when he...died.

I've never played the first one, but I had a ton of fun with The Sims 2.
