The Sims 3 on console this "holiday"

Update: Oops, as pointed out, EA has already touted a "holiday" date.

Original story: EA has revealed that The Sims 3 will be heading to console this "holiday" season.

The publisher's top money man Eric Brown spilled the beans during a Wedbush Morgan Securities conference in New York today.

Specific platforms for The Sims 3 were not mentioned, but we expect a full spread akin to The Sims 2, which was ported to DS, GBA, GC, PS2, PSP and Xbox.

The Sims 3 was released on PC last June and achieved 8/10 on Eurogamer. Chief among the new features was a streaming open world that Sims can walk freely around.
