Micro-managing your Sim all over again may be further off than originally planned, if retailer reports are accurate. According to Edge, Electronic Arts is âevaluating the launch windowâ of The Sims 3.
Whether that means a formal delay for the next installment in EAâs 100 million unit selling franchise is unclear, but its European release looks like it might be in danger of slipping. According to Edge, a number of overseas retailers are now listing the game as shipping in the first half of 2009, with the official Sims 3 site listing a âTBAâ release date.
EA CEO John Riccitiello recently went on record saying his current focus was on âHelping make The Sims 3 a huge success.â One has to wonder if, given the current scaling back at Electronic Arts, a worldwide launch of one of the publisherâs biggest title of 2009 wouldnât be prudent among current corporate turmoil.
Several North American retailers are still showing a mid-February ship date.
Hopefully, EAâs apparent reevaluation will mean a better product, one that Sims fans wonât have to wait too much longer for.
