EA bringing The Sims 2 to consoles

Electronic Arts announced today that The Sims 2, which has already sold in excess of 4.5 million copies globally in PC format, will be released for consoles this Autumn. Confirmed formats include the PS2, Gamecube, Xbox; plus portable versions on the Sony PSP, Nintendo DS and Game Boy Advance.

"Fans have been asking for The Sims 2 on console since it launched on the PC in September last year. We are thrilled to finally be able to bring it to them," said Sinjin Bain, Executive Producer EA/Maxis. "The Sims 2 will be everywhere this Autumn, giving players on consoles and handhelds all new ways to take control of their Sims and tell all new stories."

The press release from Electronic Arts states that the title will be released "for all handhelds". Whether EA considers Nokia's N-Gage and Tiger Telematics' Gizmondo handhelds for the purposes of this press release we haven't yet been able to confirm.
