In an unexpected move, Electronic Arts has announced today that they’re bringing the former PC exclusive The Sims 3 to PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, and DS this fall.
“We’re bringing players the best console and handheld game for The Sims franchise to date and are excited to offer a unique experience for all types of gamers on their platform of choice,” explained Sam Player, Executive Producer at EA. “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 Sims 3 will allow players to build their home as well as their own Sims with their own unique personalities and desires. PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 players will be able to design, build, and share creations via a new exchange system and download content from other players around the world.
Of course, check out the first three screenshots of this console Sims at the gallery.
