The following Gamasutra Jobseeker message arrived thru my RSS feeds. The job description (posted below) indicates that we *may* see The Sims 3 arrive on the Playstation 3 as well as the Xbox 360. As for the Wii, that is undetermined at this point. If this is true, this would mark the first Sims game on a true Hi-def console. As soon as there is more information, I’ll be sure to post about it. Mark this up as a rumor (in the process).

It’s very likely. There’s already UI art in the game files depicting controllers and button controls (e.g. “Press X”).
OMG I have Xbox 360
I can’t wait
I hope they will tell us the date soon
What about the Wii? Oh well. They will probably make it for the Wii too.
