BioShock 3 Confirmed Despite Lack of BioShock 2

The opposable thumbs blog is reporting that despite a lack of BioShock 2, a third installment of the BioShock universe has been confirmed. "Take Two's Chairman Strauss Zelnick let the news slip during a conference call to investors. The third installment will apparently be strongly linked to the also recently-announced BioShock movie. 'Its unlikely the picture would be released coincident with BioShock 2,' Strauss said of the upcoming film. 'It's more likely it would be released coincident with BioShock 3.'"

In the US at least: Final Fantasy 1, 2, 3 then 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12...

of course 2 and 3 were actually 4 and 6 in Japan, so we really skipped 2, 3 and 5.

Yep. Leisure Suit Larry made a 3 and a 5, but never made 4.

For those that don't get the joke. [wikipedia.org]

1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 64

And not only did Super Mario skip everything from 5 through 63 (SMW was 4), but it also had two 2's. SMB2: The Lost Levels was a level hack of SMB1, while SMB2: Mario Madness was a graphics hack of Doki Doki Panic.

Not quite. "The missing floppies" was a joke title. Here [allowe.com](and here [allowe.com]) is the real story from Al Lowe himself.

Bioshock 2... does exist?

You have to realize that the summary was written by ScuttleMonkey. That means you are getting something written inaccurately by a moron.
