Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam now on Sony Wii

Tony Hawk's presence is so strong in the gaming world that he even has titles available for imaginary consoles! Tucked away in the lower right corner of TonyHawk.com is an image promoting the latest game, Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam. It's available for -- brace yourself -- Sony Wii.

We're sure this is an innocent slip-up and not a portent of the future to come. Or are the folks behind Tony's website doing tarot card readings on the side?

For the record, Downhill Jam is available for Nintendo's Wii, DS and Game Boy Advance. A PS2 version is in the works and will be released later this year.

[Thanks, Stephen]

Oxymoron!

Farseer: Mar 12th 2007; 10:02AM

Jack, I think that it's more of a Freudian slip than an Oxymoron...

Myke: Mar 12th 2007; 10:05AM

I knew it was only a matter of time before they stole an entire console from the competition, nicely done sony, none of us saw it coming.

Jack of No Trades: Mar 12th 2007; 10:14AM

Freudian slip, also know as a offensive mistake.

this is the best joystiq can do on a monday morning, eh? :(

Farseer: Mar 12th 2007; 10:27AM

LOL, you could run with it in that direction... sure. :)

The Wii can't be from Sony: it has rumble!

SonicRift: Mar 12th 2007; 10:31AM

Whatever, they're all the same anyways, right? Right?

IslandLife: Mar 12th 2007; 10:52AM

Hasn't it become obvious
PS2 = Wii
Many of the games are all being ported from one to the other anyway.

Dougal: Mar 12th 2007; 10:54AM

Innocent slip-up or smart marketing to drive traffic to the web-site?

Evan: Mar 12th 2007; 11:11AM

@IslandLife
And NBA'07 is on both the PS3 and PS2, so by your logic:
PS2 = PS3

LaughingTarget: Mar 12th 2007; 11:14AM

So, this is why Nintendo was oddly quiet during GDC. They're buying out Sony and using the name.

Seriously, they probably just forgot the comma. Sony is ubiquitious with PS2 so just saying Sony usually means PS2 to most people. Still, this is something we'd expect out of the mainstream media, not directly from a group involved with the title.

Myke: Mar 12th 2007; 11:21AM

Mainstream media? Well I guess you could group them in there but it's Tony Hawk's official website, you'd think they'd be more up on things than, lets say, your local newspaper or something.

er.. thats what he said..

Myke: Mar 12th 2007; 12:09PM

Wow, sorry, it's Monday and the coffee machine is broken, therefore, so is my brain.

kawsone: Mar 12th 2007; 2:48PM

lanorth: Mar 12th 2007; 5:38PM

Kicker: Mar 12th 2007; 7:11PM
