The Sims 3 is an upcoming set of games announced by Electronic Arts for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Nintendo Wii, and Nintendo DS consoles.[1]
For the first time ever, players can share the fun with a friend in the co-op buddy mode or take on up to three friends in the Life Moments Game on the Nintendo Wii, upload and download content on XBLA and PSN, including furnishings, houses, and player creations or experience a full life simulation on a handheld with Nintendo DS.
Description
Create Sims with unique personalities, fulfill their desires, and control their lives within a living neighbourhood that you can customise. Unlock all-new Karma Powers and unleash them on your Sims: help your Sim get lucky with the power of “love connector”, bless them with the power of “age defier” or "instant beauty" or curse them with an "instant enemy" or an “alien abduction.” Use these powers wisely, because they may have unexpected results! As you guide your Sims through life, you can complete challenges to unlock additional items, new buildings and landmarks.
Features
Not much is known about the game at this time, however it will feature a new Karma system (possibly similar to the influence system The Sims 2).[1]

Trailer
The trailer for the Sims 3 console was released on June 14th 2010. It shows mainy of the original features of the Sims, such as cycling around town and changing your appearance. It also shows the newly-added features, such as 'Karma Powers', such as when a female sim is exposed outside a restaurant, leaving her totally nude with only the blur to cover her, presumably after doing something bad. It also shows that you are allowed to build more than one level unlike previous games. Another feature seems to be the ability to have children in the game, unlike its predecessors. (The Sims 2, The Sims 2: Pets, and The Sims 2 Castaway) also on the sims 3 wii you can have sex and take the blurred stuff off of the screen.
