Activision would like to remind everyone that even though Tony Hawk Shred had a less than stellar first week on the shelves that it’s a little early to “close the book on Tony Hawk Shred,” according to CEO Eric Hirshberg, quoted on Computer And Video Games, because they are marketing the game for holiday gift giving and we’re done with that yet.
“The one question that I can answer, and remarkably so, is that Tony Hawk does really still have relevance and tremendous appeal for people,” Hirshberg added. “He is a lasting icon. He has that Michael Jordan-ish or Jordan-esque staying power, seemingly.”
In spite of the gaming press jumping on the video skateboarding is dead bandwagon, we still like him. So please, buy a game and keep Tony’s video party rolling.
