Now now.  Don't be such a potty pants.  It could be a whole new take on Diner Dash for all we know.

They need to follow the trends. Sims Galaxy 3S?

And now, time for some Legend of Zelda.

My guess would actually be a new SimCity. The level of detail they could do now would be pretty amazing, and the last entry of the franchise (done by an external developer) was a radical shift that didn't go over well.

Maybe they could have MMO features, where cities on a landmass both cooperate and compete for resources, commercial business and population. Plus inter-city exchanges for power, maybe water rights issues.

I would love a SimCity 5. I would really love SimIsle 2.  Too bad Will Wright no longer works at Maxis.

Oh boy- right again!

They even seem to have some of the MMO features I proposed, though along much more modest lines.
