People simulator justifies the hype to become one of the fastest-selling PC games ever

The Sims 3 sold over 3.7 million units in its release month of June this year, making it one of the fastest-selling PC titles of all time.

The game, released during the first week of the month racked up those sales worldwide making it the best-selling title at retail in North America and Europe combined for the quarter.
