(extract from wiki)

The PlayStation 3 (Japanese: プレイステーション3 Hepburn: Pureisutēshon Surī?, officially abbreviated as PS3[7]) is a home video game console produced by Sony Computer Entertainment. It is the successor to the PlayStation 2, as part of the PlayStation series. The PlayStation 3 competes with Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Nintendo's Wii as part of the seventh generation of video game consoles. It was first released on November 11, 2006, in Japan,[8] with international markets following shortly thereafter.[9][10][11]

The console was first officially announced at E3 2005. Originally set for a spring 2006 release date, it was delayed several times until finally hitting stores at the end of the year. It was the first console to use Blu-ray Disc as its primary storage medium.[12] Major features of the console include its unified online gaming service, the PlayStation Network,[13] and its[14] connectivity with the PlayStation Portable and PlayStation Vita,[15] In September 2009 the updated PlayStation 3 Slim, was released. This Slim is lighter and thinner than the original version, although it lacks PlayStation 2 backwards compatibility (removed on later original models), but notably featured a re-designed logo and marketing design. A further refined Super Slim design was released in late 2012. As of November 4, 2012, 70 million PlayStation 3s have been sold worldwide. Its successor, PlayStation 4, is set for a Q4 2013 release.
