EA Receives First Official Postage Stamp Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

Electronic Arts has announced that The Sims is being recognized in the French Postal Service's "Heroes of Video Games" collection. Since February 2000, the Sims franchise has sold more than 58 million copies, including expansions. Other heroes being recognized include Link, Mario, Adibou, Pac-Man, the Prince of Persia, Rayman, Lara Croft, Spyro and Donkey Kong. The book of 10 stamps can be ordered from LaPoste.fr for 2.65 € here.

Despite continued success of the series and the recent launch of Sims 2 for consoles, Electronic Arts also recently announced that holiday sales will probably be lower than expected. This will be coupled with the dip in profitability generally associated with the costs of gearing up for a new console cycle.

"Holiday sales are not meeting expectations," said Larry Probst, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "For the December quarter, it is likely the industry will be down double digits on a percentage basis."
Fiscal third quarter results will be reported in about five weeks.
