Under 2 million.  It's a great looking game, and the Socom fans should be on board, but its control scheme is really showing its age given the release of games like Gears of War and Uncharted.

Having the character at the direct center of the screen is just awkward.

2.8 million. Here's hoping it revives some of the classic Socom vets and maintains itself for years to come.

The first set of post-launch patch notes addresses the camera view issue everyone has with the game. So it seems like Zipper is atleast listening to its fanbase.

Addressed in a patch post-launch. You can check it out for yourself on socom.com

If Confrontation can sell a million copies, then I have no doubt that a game that actually works will sell twice as much.



Bet with Conegamer and AussieGecko that the PS3 will have more exclusives in 2011 than the Wii or 360... or something.

It's a true SOCOM game, so 3 million isn't too far fetched. Let's remember this is a bigger franchise than Killzone, so selling 3 million shouldn't be too much of an issue.

So first week - 450-550k, lifetime - 2.75 - 3 million.

The franchise fell into decline after Socom 2.

I predict a painful crawl to 1 million and will remind you of your bold words if (Edit - 'when') this happens. :P
