No console Tony Hawk in '08. Alas, poor Tony!

Oh Acti-Blizi-Viveni-vision, oh how you have changed. In your lean years you proudly rode your Tony Hawk cash cow. Then came franchise fatigue, skate, and your dark times. Abandoned you have, the money-maker of yesteryear. You have cast him now into the pit of portable gaming, possibly never to return. Cursed he now is, with a two year dev cycle and raised money-making expectations. Upon his return from exile in fiscal year 2010, how will his rivals have taken advantage of his absence? Will the evil kingdom of EA own the extreme sports mindshare by that time? The rest readers, is silence.
