In one quarter? Wow. That's pretty cool. :)

Lifetime revenue, so since TS4's release.

For comparison, the entire Sims franchise passed $2.5 billion lifetime revenue in 2010. That included TS1 (and its EPs), TS2 (and its EPs/SPs), TS3 (base game + 1EP + 8 months of store content), and many other spin-off games and console games.

Between the three major installments of The Sims, and their numerous expansions, add-ons, and spin-offs, the publisher said its flagship franchise has brought in more than $2.5 billion in revenues, with more than 125 million copies sold to date.

Edit to add: thats a really small amount in 4 years when you see the revenue of other games.....gta v earned almost 1 billion in just 24 HOURS LOL. Red dead 2 sold almos 800 million in 48 hours. Sims 4 had 4.1 million units sold and sims 3 by thus same time had sold almost 8 million units.....thats almost double....It isnt a coincidence that literally 5 days before a major shareholder said it was the poorest selling of the franchise. Sims 1, 2, and 3 were all in pc mag for being the best selling pc games of all time.....last weeks article had sims 4 rated at 8.....
Here is the breakdown, sims 3 not only sold double almost what 4 did, its the best selling pc game of all time. https://www.statista.com/statistics/275226/best-selling-pc-games-of-all-time-worldwide/

Lol TS4 sold well over 10 million copies by now. In 2016 SimGuruLyndsay confirmed that over 5 million copies of TS4 were sold. I don’t know where you got your 4.1 million number from (I cannot see any numbers in your link. The article is behind pay wall).

Comparing The Sims to games like GTA V (100 million copies sold) is funny, given TS1+TS2+TS3 base games combined still didn’t sell anywhere near GTA V.
