Having played this game I appreciate it's a fantastic piece of work and will undoubtedly spawn multiple spin-offs as a new franchise for EA. It will do very well but in my opinion, the traditional PC market simply can not sustain sales of 9m, maybe not even 6m. Piracy is totally rampant, PC retail is in massive decline. The copies of this game purchased online will not count in the price of this stock.
I'd really like to hear from people who think this is going to sell 9m copies at retail? Are you just extrapolating from The Sims? Grave mistake in my opinion.
