FPS developed by Valve is the exception not the rule. Uhh... k? Just how many PS3 games currently available are online only?  And of those how many are actually good? SOCOM flopped hard thanks to the awful preliminary glitches and the long time it took to patch everything.  I still don't think many people play that. Wat????????????????????????? 1 SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Confrontation Sony Computer Entertainment 144 N/A 0.82m 12th Nov 08 Yep.  It flopped big time.  A huge flopping failure. 1 SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Confrontation Sony Computer Entertainment 144 N/A 0.82m 12th Nov 08 2 SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Sony Computer Entertainment 15 N/A 3.44m 26th Nov 08 3 SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Fireteam Bravo 2 Sony Computer Entertainment 14 N/A 0.97m 26th Nov 08 4 SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Fireteam Bravo Sony Computer Entertainment 13 N/A 1.37m 26th Nov 08 5 SOCOM II: U.S. Navy SEALs Sony Computer Entertainment 11 N/A 2.65m 15th Sep 08 6 SOCOM 3: U.S. Navy SEALs Sony Computer Entertainment 10 N/A 1.55m 26th Nov 08

Congrats on making my case. How many of those are online only? How many of those were developed by zipper?

^And compared to those this one flopped

Thanks for giving excuses as to why it did flop, along side the fact that it absolutely sucked.
And yes this does not include the possible 50k that were downloaded.

Both PS2 visions sold better, even the PSP versions did better.

Maybe Zipper should have been smarter and made sure the game was:

1. Ready and not bug heaven

2. Had a single player campaign

Your a sad sorry little troll if you believe Sony had the same expectations for Confrontation that it did with 1-3.

It's nice that you think that, but as somebody that owns the game, online is always very busy.

I don't think Zipper made it. Wasn't it made by Slant Six?

Zipper didn't develop Confrontation... man you don't even know about the game your bashing. Pathetic.

I'm sorry, I figured Zipper made it considering your question.  Like I could care less who made it.

And I'm not being a troll, I'm stating facts about the game, as well as my opinion of it.  After having owned it for months I never played it because every time I tried it was bugs and lag heaven.  I'm sure it's "busy" but even just a few tiny thousand players each day would appear that way.  I'm sorry, but anyone who thinks this game achieved what it was meant to is really low balling it.

Zipper might have done that if they had made the game.

Also I notice how you ignore that it outsold Combined Assault without even factoring in downloads.  Not to mention both S3 and Combined Assault turned a lot of people off the series.

No no no no, You are NOT stating facts. You are stating claims you pulled from your ass. Where is the data showing that it flopped? In order for you to prove it flopped you must either show A. Sony's expectations of it selling as much as previous SOCOMS or B. Sony's financial breakdown of this game.

Thanks for coming in late.  I ignored those because I figured those were crap expansions that obviously were flops themselves by your own definition.

Take away Zipper.  Insert correct publisher/developer.  All I did was assume from what JED said.  I really could care less about the game since it sucked so bad that I sold it and how burned I am for having wasted money on it to have to suffer through lag and bugs for months.
