SONY's owned SOCOM from the beginning. There was no need to buy Zipper for SOCOM 4. After they bought Zipper, following PSP Socom's and later Confrontation went to a second party studio [Slant 6] and MAG development started. When the acquisition announcement was made, SONY cited Zippers ability to create dedicated online fanbases as the main reason for it. SOCOM already had an excellent base thanks Zipper and if we're to go by what SONY stated it's logical to assume that MAG--as it's a new IP--was "their big title for the PS3".
