1,000,000 sims

Ea is today celebrating quite a milestone, its hit IP "The Sims" has hit over 1 Million sales. Even when you consider that there is one Sims expansion pack to every 9 people on earth (probably) this is still quite a feat, especially when you think that the series only appeared on the scene in 2000.

"At this milestone, we want to thank players of The Sims everywhere for making The Sims such a worldwide phenomenon," said Rod Humble, Head of Studio for The Sims Label.

"The Sims has been an interactive experience for people around the globe to explore their passion for creativity and we're thrilled to be a part of that. From building houses and relationships, from the first kiss to a toddler's first step, from kitchen fires - and even visits from ghosts, players have told more than 100 million unique and fun stories!"

No doubt we can expect the Sims 3 soon, as well as the compulsory 5,000 expansion packs it will no doubt receive.
