The likes of PowerWash Simulator, Pro Gymnast Simulator and Brewmaster: Beer Brewing Simulator are joined by another unusual entry. Ship Graveyard Simulator is out today on Xbox."

We’ve seen half a dozen simulators arrive on consoles this past month. Because it’s hard to tell who the majority are aimed at, it seems that publishers are simply hedging bets on their titles becoming the next surprise success. PowerWash Simulator cleared 3 million sales recently, so you can see why developers are keen to try turning just about any career into a simulator, no matter how mundane.
