You know, Nintendo has Mario and Xbox has Halo but Playstation has not one but 3 representatives, they are Solid Snake, Kratos and Dante. When ever I think about the Playstation these three characters always pop up in my mind and in my opinion they are the characters that mean Playstation to me. I'm not saying that MGS, GOW and DMC is all that Playstation offer but that these 3 are the greatest characters that define Playstation.

Snake, Kratos and Dante are completely different from each other and have different personalities which really brings them to life.

Solid Snake: The cool bad ass character who is a clone of a legendry soldier

Kratos: The Brutal bad ass character who has a short temper and a troubled past.

Dante: The stylish bad ass character who has some crazy skills and a cocky mouth

Choose your favourite and explain why?

Crash bandacoot?

Yeah sure his a mascot but for the PS1 plus only for kids.

For PS2 its Snake, Kratos and Dante but I wouldn't really say mascots.

Crash isn't really a deep character like the 3 I mentioned.

A lot will say Snake, but even though I love MGS and all I love GoW II and Kratos is so bada$$ and he's first party so he has no chance of going to other systems, of course neither will DMC and MGS, but first party is straight from Sony so I say Kratos. And he's a god so he would woop anyone's as$.

Yeah I agree Crash is not only for kids that's like saying Ratchet is only for kids and it clearly isn't, but I wouldn't say Crash considering Naughty dog sold the lisence and same with what Insomniac did with Spyro.

The topic states "The 3 most iconic Playstation characters " it doesn't state which console it is.

and the only character that really could be playstation icon on your list is Kratos, because it's being developed and published by Sony. Where Snake has been on Xbox and Gamecube and dante has been on PC.

btw Snake is Konamis icon and Dante is Capcoms icon.
If you are gonna take an icon it should be a character from a game being that is at least published by Sony.

well yeah but the fact is they are famous as PS characters not Xbox or Gamecube.

Kojima said in one of his interviews about a year ago that Snake will remain on the Playstation platform because his a PS character or something like that. Dante has never been on any other console apart from Playstation 2

OH and guys PLEASE KEEP THE TALK ON SNAKE, KRATOS AND DANTE :cry:

Who's more iconic than Heihachi / Kazuya Mishima from the Tekken series? No, they're not my favorite.

So does that mean Master Chief can't be considered a 360 icon? I mean Halo isn't published by Microsoft, isn't that the (independant) Epic? Hmmm ...

Snake has been on Xbox and Gamecube, will be on Wii shortly and who knows maybe even Xbox 360.

So of the 3 I'd say Kratos I guess.

However I think Ratchet/Clank or even Jak/Daxter would make more sense, considering they've been used much more and I personally associate Sony systems with those characters as opposed to the ones you mentioned. I'd even go as far as to say Heichachi (sp?) from Tekken as someone too as he's be in the Tekken games and was PS2's character in Soul Calibur.
