EA's piracy demo program (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/06/23/ea-calls-sims-3-leak-its-demo-program/) apparently paid off as Gamasutra (http://gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=24505) reports The Sims 3 sold 820,000 retail copies this June in the US. Digging a little deeper into the numbers, the site believes the game has hit 2.5 million sales globally, which means it may reach analyst projections (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/04/30/sims-3-online-features-revealed-analyst-says-game-could-sell-4m/) of 4 million units cha-chinged by year's end.
With vampires (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/02/07/the-sims-3-adds-vampire-look-lacks-blood-sucking-ability/), built-in microtransactions, and an inevitable assembly line of expansion packs planned, The Sims 3 has only begun to pour coal into its money train.
