Sims 2 posts record setting sales

Sims 2

As much as you might enjoy watching the industry-gobbling-empire that is Electronic Arts crumble to the ground, we's got news for you, it ain't happening any time soon. Yes, within the first ten days of the Sims 2's release more than 1 million copies were sold (more than 50% in Europe). This of course, set a record high for a PC launch, and has elevated EA to a new level in its brief 22 year history. What makes the game so potent is its appeal to 'non-gamers' (if there is such a thing), earning the Sims (every capitalist's dream) cultural phenomenon status.
