Despite being in abysmal condition at launch (and for many weeks after), SOCOM Confrontation has managed to stay popular with PlayStation 3 owners. Speaking with Joystiq this morning in New York, SCEA senior producer Mark Rogers said that the game has the most simultaneously connected users on PlayStation Network. Meaning that the title has beaten even the mighty Killzone 2 in terms of PSN players.
Rogers believes Confrontation is still bumpin’ because of the community, who have proven to be as a resilient bunch, constantly downloading patches and updating the once-crippled simulation shooter.
In a better bit of news, there’s a good chance that the Confrontation player base are all Bluetooth headset-carrying members of the PSN community. Voice chat is good guys; use it more often ... whenever you get around to playing a different game.

True story.
Now If I can just find a time the FNF guys are willing to play that doesn't go after my fucking awful curfew...
I bought this game only because it came with the head set and it was on sale at Eb for 39.99. I played this for a little bit, couldn't get into it, but its a tough shooter and the guys that play are are actually pretty kool. It just wasn't my cup of tea in terms of gameplay, its way to tactical for my liking.
Likewise
As for SOCOM being so popular? I don't care. I actually got offended at how unplayable and unfinished that game was at launch and I never got over it. I didn't even like SOCOM from before and I still got offended somehow.
I still play a fair bit of Socom, I love it! Despite how fucking hard it is!
It's a nice change from kill kill die kill die kill kill kill die die die.
It's all about teamwork and skill, rather than running around like a mad man with a machine gun.
Socom isn't a bad game. In fact like it. But I'd rather play Killzone.
I hate it when they throw out a statement and don't back it up with specifics. I don't disbelieve the statement.. heck, even Warhawk still does well in terms of weekly usage stats and comes close to Killzone usage for some weeks, but I do wish they would be more specific.
