Not to start off an argument here but AC3 actually would have been in production since long before the release of AC2 because Ubisoft would have started development in early 2009 or even before that. Since Mr Guillemot said that it has been in development for 3 years in February, this would mean that it has been in production since around February 2009. If it had been developed since AC2 came out, it would have had 3 years for development in November and not February. Unless I'm wrong or Mr Guillemot is. BTW Lyon Gonevistha probably meant less than a year for a sequel being released.
