Electronic Arts might have found a contender for Tony Hawk’s throne, as the publisher’s skateboard title Skate enjoyed almost double the sales of the pro skater’s latest. In yesterday’s earning call report, EA reported, “on current generation systems, Skate outsold Tony Hawk [Proving Ground] nearly 2 to 1.”
Although Skate had a one-month head start in both US and Europe, both titles were out long enough to be well-stocked for the crucial holiday season. While we’re glad to have a quality competitor in the long-dominated skateboarding genre, we can only foresee a constant stream of bickering between the EA and Tony Hawk publisher Activision Blizzard at the Annual Giant Game Publishers Valentine’s Day Dance.
