Posted in: Today's Chili 
Sony has announced that it’s now sold over 70 million PlayStation 3 consoles — matching the number of Xboxes sold according to Microsoft’s latest financial report. Direct from the Japanese console maker, it also revealed that more than 15 million PlayStation Move motion controllers have been sold since its launch over two years ago. Meanwhile, the slightly aging (but constantly tweaked) base console is now approaching its sixth birthday, but there’s no word yet on its hardware successor, with Sony preferring to focus on new connectivity features between the PS3 and its handheld relative.

Sony has officially reached a new milestone in the PlayStation 3 life cycle as it has sold 70 million PlayStation 3 worldwide. If you have heard a similar number recently, it is probably because Microsoft made a similar announcement in late October when the installed base of Xbox 360 reached 70M. In both case, it is a truly remarkable number, but Sony came out to market about one year later and this is worth mentioning.
The print industry can be said to be slowly dying out, and in the embers of it, are there any proverbial phoenixes in the making? Perhaps, or perhaps not, time will tell. The thing is, Nintendo Power will have a grave mate to join it, as PlayStation: The Official Magazine is another print magazine that will cease all publications with the Holiday 2012 issue hitting the stands this November being the final issue.
Good news gamers, it looks like if you were looking forward to Assassin’s Creed 3, well you’re probably aware of the fact that today is the day when the game is launching (as if we needed to remind you about that!). Now it seems that Sony has decided to reward Assassin Creed 3 gamers who will be playing the game on their PlayStation 3 console. This takes the form of four exclusive missions that gamers will be able to access to on day one itself, with no extra fees whatsoever. These four missions can be downloaded via the PlayStation Store update, although Sony notes that access to these missions might be locked depending on your progress within the game. To top it off, it seems that if you’re a huge fan enough to buy both Assassin’s Creed 3 for the PS3 and Assassin’s Creed 3: Liberation for the PlayStation Vita, gamers will be able to access Cross Content. So, who’s excited for Assassin’s Creed 3?
