SOCOM 4 has gained much attention over time since it was announced a few months back, the game will be made by Zipper interactive, unlike SOCOM: Confrontation, which was plagued with serious connection and network problems when released, So even though this game is being delayed, this is mainly why. Zipper Interactive is delaying the game to avoid that very reason it seems.
Senior community manager Jeremy Dunham had to say, “While we’re certainly aware that you’ve been looking forward to playing SOCOM 4 this year, we don’t want to take any shortcuts. Instead, we want to deliver the best and most immersive SOCOM game we possibly can and we’re going to use our extra time to do just that.” So the game will be released now in 2011, no specific time range in 2011, just sometime next year. Although it will probably be in a time range that wont conflict with a Call of Duty game or Killzone 3 next year.
With Sony’s recent announcement of their latest financial results, also comes an update on the console sales race. As of now the gap between the PS3 and Xbox 360 is now only 3.6 million units. Here is how Sony has achieve it:
.
During Sony’s fiscal-2010 year (April 1st 2009 to March 31st 2010) the PS3 sold 13 million units. But in the past 12 months, the PS3 sold 14.3 million units. That’s in comparison to the Xbox 360’s 10.3 million units. The PS3 sold a whole 4 million units more than the 360 in just 12 months.
*Also an interesting note. If this flow in sales continued exactly the same (the Xbox 360 S and Kinect are wild cards) the PS3 will have sold more than the Xbox 360 by the first half of 2011.
Finally, it looks like Sony has returned to profitability today. The company recorded net profits of 25.7 billion yen during its fiscal first quarter, up from the 37.1 billion yen loss it suffered last year during the same time period.
Sony was able to reduce its loses this year to just 3.8 billion yen, a significant improvement from the 36.7 billion yen loss the year before.
The PS3 was a major contributing factor to the turnaround, Sony said. PS3 hardware for the quarter hit 2.4 million units sold worldwide, up from 1.1 million the prior quarter. PS3 software sales also nearly doubled with 24.8 million units sold, up from 14.8 million.
PSP sales dropped in the quarter to 1.2 million from 1.3 million, while its software sales saw an increase to 9.2 million units from 8.3 million.
Sony is forecasting 15 million PlayStation 3 units sold worldwide this fiscal year, its highest to date. It’s forecasting about a million unit drop in PSP and PS2 sales, however.
The PlayStation 3′s worldwide install base is currently at 38 million.

The game finally drops November 2nd, for all you still looking forward to the for a fully fledged console MMO.
PlayStation 3 gamers will be able to get an early taste of the upcoming beta release of Assassins Creed: Brotherhood. Stated to arrive on the PlayStation Network this Autumn, new details have come from Comic Con, confirming that the Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood multiplayer beta testing phase will launch in September.
At The end of the official Comic-con trailer said “Pre-Order the Game Now with Select Online Retailers and Play the PS3 Exclusive Multiplayer Beta”, and it’s here that most previous trailers have ended. However, this new trailer then displayed a further splash screen, announcing “Beta Coming September 2010”.
The whole trailer can be found here. Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood is set for release this November on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC.
Sony just released info on the PlayStation 3′s next minor firmware update that should be available “soon”. This update will be adding another feature to the PlayStation Store that will add a “You May Like” section to the right side of the content that you are browsing and when you pull this up it will show related content that you may have not known about, making more content noticed.
Recently they have added a star rating system to the Store and now there’s this new feature. This update is obviously a small one and Sony has not spoken of any other features that will be added besides this. There will also be an update (v6.31) that will be added to the PSP that is also minor and will add more stability when playing some software titles.
Capcom producer Yoshinori Ono recently dropped a fairly sizable bomb on attendees of the company’s “Street Fighter Mania!: SSFIV and Beyond” panel at Comic-Con: Street Fighter X Tekken. The oft-rumored project will be developed by Capcom using the Street Fighter IV engine (only with two-fighter tag team battles), and will feature a number of fighters from Namco’s similarly successful fighting franchise, including Kazuya and Nina Williams.

As the PlayStation Move approaches its September release, dedicated third party accessories are starting to infiltrate stores catalogs, offering alternatives to the official ones or solutions Sony doesn’t provide.
Below are a few possible 3rd party accessories found at at various online stores. Again, none of these are 100% confirmed at all. I think its intresting to think about though.
Well it looks like Sony has taken it upon themselves to release a comparison chart of their own; regarding all the new motion gaming in the market. To me, this chart seems to state most of the already obvious, however, you may find it interesting.
Some of the main points you will find in this chart that you may not have thought about is the lack for the Kinect to support rechargeable batteries, feedback, buttons, and wireless connection to the console, however some of the comparisons between the Kinect, Nintendo Wii, and PlayStation Move being made by Sony may surprise you; take a look for yourself, and comment your thoughts.
