Analyst predicting Sims 3 to sell 4 million in 2009 Analyst Mike Hickey stated in a new Gamasutra article that he predicts The Sims 3 will sell 4 million copies in 2009.* I don’t see why it won’t, as it now has a number of positives going for the game.* The biggest threat the game has is piracy, but hopefully it will not be the case.* No longer will the excuse “This game has SecuROM, I’m going to download it” can be given, so perhaps that’ll lessen the chance of it becoming downloaded.* Let’s just try not to ship the game a little too early and have it leaked a week in advance much like Spore was, okay EA?
