Mange har tænkt det, men det er kun få der har sagt det: Sony burde opkøbe Zipper Interactive og derved sikre sig at Socom-serien fortsætter på PlayStation 3.
Og det er præcis hvad firmaet forleden gjorde. Pungen kom op af foret og Zipper Interactive er nu, ligesom Naught Dog, Guerrilla Games og Insomnic Games, en del af Sonys store palette af studier.
Phil Harrison knyttede følgende kommentar til købet af Zipper Interactive:
"Zipper Interactive is one of the most well-known and respected development teams in the industry and we have enjoyed a great working relationship with the company since July 1999. Zipper's tremendous achievements and expertise in creating top-selling games with fantastically loyal online communities is a great addition to our development organization. We are delighted that Zipper Interactive is now a core member of the SCE Worldwide Studios network."
