SOCOM sales have reached an impressive million giving the online world a huge boost in numbers. Even though the game requires broadband, and not everybody has broadband, many people are encouraged to pick it up with solid single-player action. Althoug, in the past week over a million hours of combined gameplay have taken place bringing the total play time this year to date to over eight and a half million hours. About 50 and 60 thousand people are setting up games everyday. "Due to the solid gameplay and revolutionary features such as 16-player gameplay and voice-chat, SOCOM has been one of the driving factors leading people online with PlayStation 2," announced Pete Roithmayr, EB Games Vice President. "Since its release, SOCOM has been flying off our shelves and influencing sales of the network adaptor while establishing a new standard for online console games and proving that online gaming is definitely in high demand for the next era of software titles."
