The Sims 4 came out a year ago (well, September 2 in the US, September 4 in the UK), and to celebrate EA has produced one of those infographics that are so popular these days. It's got the figures you'd expect—number of Sims created (93 million), time spent in game (27,900 years)—but also, because this is The Sims, some that are a little more interesting.
What I'd be really interested to see, however, is how these stats measure up to the previous Sims games. After all, every time I write about The Sims 4 somebody comes along to tell me it's rubbish compared to its predecessors. Were the numbers much bigger for The Sims 3 and The Sims 2?
Then again, Chris did give The Sims 4 a 79 in his review, which is not a bad score. And 27,900 years' worth of time spent in one game in one year is nothing to sneer at.
