"Electronic Arts has expressed interest in developing a Kinect-based edition of The Sims. Speaking to Digital Spy at gamescom 2011, senior designer Aaron Connors said that a version of the game powered entirely by the Xbox 360 motion technology would be &amp;quot;fantastic&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;Y&amp;#039;know, that&amp;#039;s interesting. I think it would be fantastic,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;The only problem that the game has is that there is so much complexity to it. The user interface is really intensive here. I think that&amp;#039;s the only limitation in that respect.&amp;quot; The Sims 3: Pets for Xbox 360 is controlled using both Kinect and a standard controller. Connors went on to say that the inclusion of the motion hardware makes the 360 edition the definitive version of the game. &amp;quot;I think the Kinect support gives it that dimension of usefulness that other editions of the Sims don&amp;#039;t have,&amp;quot; he added. The Sims 3: Pets will be available for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and 3DS as a stand-alone title from October. It will also be available on PC as an expansion pack. The Sims 3 was released on PC in June 2010, followed by expansions Ambitions, World Adventures and Late Night.  &amp;gt; More gamescom 2011 coverage "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
