The console games, as they come out with this new generation, will have a temporary advantage in price performance, but there are still many things you can do on a PC, more conveniently than you can do on a console machine.

Also, after people play these Sim games, it tends to change their perception of the world around them, so they see their city, house or family in a slightly different way after playing.

The new generation of consoles has as much power to do the kind of games that we do as the PC does.

The big thing is that we have five percent or less of the hardcore players actively entertaining the other ninety-five percent.

Players like to know that they've discovered things that even the designers didn't know were in the game.

I think the idea of having a game based on reality is compelling right off the bat because everyone has some experience with the subject of the game.

Somebody asked me what I thought next generation meant and what about the PlayStation 3 was next generation. The only next gen system I've seen is the Wii - the PS3 and the Xbox 360 feel like better versions of the last, but pretty much the same game with incremental improvement.
