New Tony Hawk title is Xbox 360 exclusive in UK
Reinvention of franchise to be exclusive to Microsoft console this Christmas
Activision has revealed that Tony Hawk: RIDE will be exclusive to the Xbox 360 in the UK.
The game was revealed late last week for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii, but Microsoft has seemingly grabbed the highly-anticipated title for itself in the region.
"Further to Monday's announcement regarding Tony Hawk: RIDE, Activision UK is pleased to announce that this title will be launched later this year in the UK, as an Xbox 360 platform exclusive," said the company.
The game is a reinvention of one of Activision's biggest franchises, and will ship complete with a skateboard peripheral when it's released later this year.
The exclusivity deal will be a seen as a blow to Sony's PlayStation 3 and Nintendo's Wii during the busy Christmas period, although Activision has not detailed whether the title will be released on other formats at a later date.
The title is due to be demoed at E3 in June.
As if the debt you two giants are standing is isn't deep enough, now you're going to write checks just for stuff like this? How can you possibly get a bigger return on this investment versus just leaving it alone?
Be glad you have other corporate divisions because economically both of you suck at the video game business.
Sucks for PS3 owners I guess
