EA has announced that The Sims 3 is in development for the PS3, Xbox 360, Wii and DS, with all versions planned for fall release. The console versions promise all-new features, which include Karma Powers that determine whether your Sim can “get lucky” or experience an “epic fail.”

Each console flavor will be unique and sport different features. The PS3 and Xbox 360 editions will include Facebook connectivity, so you can share Trophy and Achievement updates with friends. The Wii version will feature an exclusive beach town, complete with its own residents, careers and “lifetime wishes”. The DS version will introduce a new Story Mode that allows players to go through a “complete life simulation.”
