You're comparing apples to oranges. Two different items selling to two different markets. Sims allows people to create characters, yes. But the creation is rather limited. The game's primary draw is the ability to watching the characters 'grow' and 'evolve' and interact with other characters through 'life'. Poser allows people to create characters, yes. But its main draw is as a tool to create art. There's no game in the program besides what goes on in the artist's mind. No real comparison there. Two different concepts. Two different target audiences that just happen to have an overlap in interest.
