So you think the Sims 3 will flop, do you?

[Sara]

No way it's going to flop. First of all, the Sims games are bestsellers. Huge bestsellers. Probably the only game around the world that almost everybody likes, no matter the s3x or the age: it's good family fun, and you can play countless times and be sure every time is different. The Sims name is already established in the whole world, so any kind of promotion is not necessary.
Besides, people had the same fear when TS2 came out; I remember it clearly! People were sure it was going to flop, why buy another game when you have one that is so great especially considering the ammount of money you spent on it (EPs,etc)? But then reviews came out, and people noticed that the huge improvements were worth. Guess what? It became immediatly a bestseller, and it was nr.1 in a few days. Now it has sold more copies than its precedent.
TS3 looks highly promising. So I can guess that it will be the exact same thing. This is going to be huge.
