I was reading that the Electronic Arts' Sims 2 franchise sold 70 million copies so far. Also Ubisoft's Petz product line (Catz, Dogz, Horsez) collectively sold 3.5 million units.

So, when GRAW2 sales only 1 million copies and Silent Hunter 4 only a couple hundred thousands, WHY should anybody be bothered to make Silent Hunter 5?

Everybody complains about what a crappy game Silent Hunter 4 is and that SH4 is just a big collection of bugs and how they want back the $50 spent on the game. Nobody just enjoys the game. Everybody should join the navy and see what it means to be a captive of Time Compression =1 and not being able to blow the ships you spot (WW2 is kinda over).

You can imagine that making a Silent Hunter is not a walk in the park (as it is when making Sims 2).

WHY should there be a Silent Hunter 5 (Silent Hunter must reach the 230 version number (Silent Hunter 230) to have the same sales as Sims 2)? Ubisoft should stop all projects and start making Sims 2 clones and make BIIIG bucks. 2 years from now you'll only find Sims 2 clones in the shops. I wish everybody to enjoy their future copy of Sims 2.
