Announced today by Activision, the recently released remake of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 he sold over 1 million copies around the world on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. Considering that the latest installment of the iconic series has only been out for about ten days, that's a really good result. In this regard, Activision has stated that THPS 1 + 2 is now the best-selling chapter of the series, a series that has lasted for many years now.

Obviously, the initial success of the game, both critically and commercially, bodes well for the future. To be honest, in recent years, Tony Hawk Pro Skater he found himself in a decidedly difficult situation that even put it at risk of cancellation.
After the sad answer to Tony Hawk Pro 5 Skater, a game that many would like to pretend it doesn't even exist, it seems that going back to the roots of the franchise with THPS 1 + 2 was the right choice. Whether or not Activision will decide to leverage this new momentum for a new entry into the series remains to be seen (just as it did with Crash 4) or whether he will choose to continue re-doing the old episodes.
