What is FY 18Q3..? (I'm not surprised by the way, Rodiek already stated Sims 4 had a rocky start)

p.s.: Sorry, happens to me often, staring at something in complete confusion, then think 'heck, I'm gonna ask' and as soon as I have, bingo, I get it: federal year 2018 quarter 3. Not that I totally understand now, cause that means from July 1, 2018 to September 30, 2018. That's like... in the future...?

FY2018 started in April of 2017, and will end March of this year.

With the rerelease of the base game on PS4 and XB1 it’s not surprising that there’s a jump in players. There’s no way to cross reference PC ownership but there’s probably a lot of overlap, but that’s really going beyond the message EA was trying to convey in it’s report.

Eh, the game grew 2 thirds in 2016. It seems to be doing better the longer it's been out.

Yes it is. EA is quite thrilled with the Sims 4. It used to get almost no mention during earning calls and the past year and a quarter - each quarter the game just keeps going up in the player base and EA is literally beaming and always mentions our Sims 4.

Especially in Q3 FY18. But the main reason was still the release of TS4 for consoles and the extremely fast release of packs for the console game too. This fast release indicates to me that EA just wants the console game to catch up as much as possible before TS5 most likely will be announced anyway. Transferring the PC game to consoles seems to be cheap for EA when the new technic is used. So I find it understandable that EA wants as many packs as possible released and they seem to sell quite well and likely mainly to simmers who have a top console but maybe not a very good gaming computer because they otherwise mainly play games for consoles.
