Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam now on Sony Wii

by John Bardinelli { Mar 12th 2007 at 9:52AM }

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!

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

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.

Freudian slip, also know as a offensive mistake.

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

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

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!

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

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

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

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.
