Try the following, possibly with different breaks for each dimension.

  x <- matrix(rnorm(30000), ncol=3)
  breaks <- seq(-1, 1, length=5)
  xints <- data.frame(
  x1=cut(x[, 1], breaks=breaks),
  x2=cut(x[, 2], breaks=breaks),
  x3=cut(x[, 3], breaks=breaks))
  table(complete.cases(xints))
  xtabs(~ ., xints)

Hope this helps.
