The problem with that theory is, it doesn't address the fact that the Tony Hawk games have went to shit. There hasn't been a skateboard game that has topped the original games (2/3 mainly, I think). THPS2 didn't get a 98 on metacritic just because of a skate fad 10 years ago.
If an amazing skateboard game comes up now, you don't think it's possible for it to sell millions? I think it is. To be honest, I didn't know shit about Tony Hawk OR skateboarding until his games came out, which drew attention since they were so damn good. Same with the N64 (WCW) wrestling games. Perhaps I'm the minority here, though.
