It's not done. We never definitely retire any franchise. It's sometimes great to have a fresh look at the classics that we have. We are launching a new Sly Cooper game this year after so many years.
"Never say never. I feel sorry for people who are longtime SOCOM fans, and there are many people who still play SOCOM 1 and SOCOM 2 especially; those seem to be there favorites."
