@atlantabrave04: You should give the game a try on your computer. It seems to run really well even on lower end systems. I run it on my lap top which is far from a gaming machine. Plus there of course are some graphics options you can turn down if you absolutely have to.

It's really not that difficult if EA put effort into it. An example of this can be seen with the Battle for Middle-Earth series. If anyone said those games would be anything close to functional on consoles before they came out, everyone else would've called him crazy. Fact of the matter is, that series did well on consoles, despite the fact RTS's are traditionally console games. It's not unreasonable. That's all I'm saying.

For me the Sims 2 and 3 are all about modifying the game with consumer created custom content. Via some new mods, I'd finally got my game looking and functioning like I want it too. On a 360 there would be zero chance of any of that and I'd have to be stuck with all the crap that only EA offers. 
Look at my teenage lesbian marriage. You aren't going to get anything that controversial from a locked-in console port. If they are going to make a Sims for the 360, that's fine but it shouldn't be just a port of Sims 3. It would be better if it was one of those Sims Stories type games.

I have The Sims, Bustin Out and The Sims 2 on Gamecube and I thought they all worked pretty well. I still play Sims 2 on my Wii sometimes for the split screen 2 player. The extra power the 360 has would finally let them add stuff like multi-floored houses. Put it this way, if they do it, I'll buy it.

They could make it for them but a direct port I don't think so. I just cannot see how the game would work without a mouse without a serious overhaul of the controls and gui and even then it would be a completely different experience. It's like trying to play an RTS game on a console. They have been able to make them work, but it's a different experience than playing on a PC. But yeah I wouldn't be surprised if they did infact port it." They WILL port it, but it will suck. "
