So, maybe Activision CEO Bobby Kotick just doesn't need the PS3 after all? Not if you believe the hype applied to the skateboard peripheral for Tony Hawk Ride by developer Robomodo's president, Joshua Tsui.

"We look at it less as a peripheral, as more of a platform. The obvious ones are snowboarding and surfing and such, but there are a lot of games that can be used with this board, and we're really excited to start working on those."

Technically you've got to agree that a skateboard is indeed a platform.
