EA 'Skates' Up the Charts

It may not have Tony Hawk in the title, but EA's Skate is a great start for the publisher's new skateboarding franchise. According to NPD, Skate on the Xbox 360 was the fifth best selling title overall for September. This made it the second best selling title on Microsoft's platform during the same period, with over 175,000 copies sold. Skate was also the eighth best selling PS3 game during the same period.

WOw, Awesome. Glad to finally see people buy new and better games instead of recycled ones (Although sadly EA may end up milking and copying Skate in the coming years).

oh dear god, please let it be good.

These guys are pretty cringe. Also the look of the new skate looks boring compared to games like Skater XL and Sessions. I'm not a fan of the arcade skate Sims

I kind of like the idea of free, social skateboarding game in an open world.

Lmao of course… that blows

I mean it could work. They could easily sell branded cosmetics which could pull in quite a bit of money if done right, but I can't say I'm not a bit disappointed. I'll try it cause I really like the series, but it'll suck if this fails cause I really like the series lol

"If done right" lmao. The only way to do that right is to make them unlockable via in game progression.

If done right they can do it like how Minecraft has done it for years and people don't have an issue with how MC does it. I wanna hate on EA just as much as the next guy, but I'll wait until after they ruin Skate to have a negative opinion on it.
