South Park: The Stick of Truth Censored

Ubisoft has censored South Park: The Sick of Truth on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in Europe, the middle East and Africa allthough the PC version will remain untouched.

BT.com recieved a note with review copies of the game which reveals the extent of the cut which will amount to around 20 seconds each. The list is as follows:

• A mini-game in which the doctor is performing an abortion on the player.
• A mini-game in which the player is performing an abortion on the character Randy.
• Five anal probing scenes involving someone actively being probed. The scenes play out as normal before and after the active probing sequences.

In place of the censored scenes is an image background with a description of the events selected by South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone.

PS4 sold 320,000 units in Japan in two days

The PlayStation 4 sold 322,083 systems in its opening weekend in Japan, jumping easily ahead of the PlayStation 3, which moved only 88,443 units in 2006. The PS4's worldwide sales tally before the Japanese launch was 5.3 million. What's important to know is these numbers are from Famitsu and maybe should be taken with a pinch of salt until Sony confirms this.

One thing to note is that the PS4 could not match the PS2 allthough that is gonna be a feat considering the PS2 is the best selling console of all time. At the time the PS2 sold 630,552 units which is double the PS4.
Sony held a midnight launch event featuring speakers like SCE CEO Andrew House and Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima. The Xbox One is still yet to release in Japan.
