Sony Publishing & Acquisition – Playstation Games!

In 2002, Sony Computer Entertainment of America and Zipper teamed up to develop and publish the first SOCOM video game. After helping launch the Playstation2 network adapter and establishing SOCOM as one of the premier online titles, Zipper and Sony went on to release 6 installments of SOCOM. Two of which were for the Playstation Portable (PSP). The SOCOM series has sold over 10M copies worldwide and continues to do well on both the PS2 and PSP today. In 2006 Zipper was acquired by Sony and joined a very talented group of studios making games exclusively for the Playstation platforms.

Sony and Zipper recently announced their newest title, MAG for the Playstation 3. With MAG, Zipper once again, pushes the limits in technology and design with a near-future 256 player online first person shooter
