"Sadly, there are no current plans to move SimCity to console," reads a tweet from the official SimCity account.

Past SimCity titles launching for home consoles included a port of the 1989 original for the SNES, SimCity 64, and SimCity Creator for the Wii.

In addition, EA launched SimCity DS and SimCity Creator for the Nintendo DS.

SimCity launched Tuesday in North America and today in the United Kingdom. Developer Maxis has apologized for widespread server issues in America, though the UK launch appears to be off to an uninterrupted start.
