Atleast for a few years, he's the most likeable character this-gen imo next to Snake. He's just a normal cool funny dude.

I'm also ignoring Sackboy for the sake of argument.

Don't mascots need to be instantly recognizable for marketing purposes? It doesn't seem like Drake fits the bill - being a relatively normal looking guy and all.

Why? He looks generic and he talks like a less funny, more annoying version of the new Prince of Persia.

uncharted isn't popular enough...

the only franchise sony has that is popular enough to be mascot-able is GT, and that doesn't really work.

maybe GoW is the closest. it'snot quite popular enough, but kratos is alot more unique looking than nathan drake.

Sony handed Crash over to another publisher a long time ago and he hasn't been exclusive to Sony's platforms for years.

Kratos is the closest thing to an appropriate Sony mascot if you ask me.

Well, to bring this back to the realm of reality, Sony can't use a third party character as a mascot unless they license it's use which would cost a lot of money if they plan to use it extensively as most mascots are. And if it's multiplat it would make no sense. And if it was exclusive, there would always be the risk of it going multiplat and THEN making no sense.

The original Crash Bandicoot was actually caught up in the fifth-gen System Wars. Sega, Nintendo and Sony were going head to head with their "killer apps" for the holiday season in 1996... NiGHTS, Mario 64 and Crash respectively.

the only thing with kratos is that you can't really put him in any other games than GoW...

you can't make Kratos Kart or something like that.

Kratos. Unlike Snake he isn't on any other non-Sony console.

He is hardcore and spans at least 2 gens.

I don't mind Jak or Ratchet either-- it just goes to show you Sony has a wide variety of characters... or not a solid single character, whichever way you look at it :P

I think he's a tool. (Don't mod me, there's many terms for "Tool") I just don't find him interesting. If I had 2 choose' it'll be Sackboy.

Actually Naughty Dog sold Crash Bandicoot to Vivendi Universal when they left Vivendi to become a first party developer for Sony.

I've always liked the fact that Sony doesn't have a widely recognized mascot; that way their hands aren't tied if they want to create something fresh. I think, market-wise, they'll probably try to push Sackboy; casual is all the rage these days. But MS and Nintendo having identifiable mascots, to me, results in lower quality games that thrive on that recognition and familiarity, rather than on more important elements of the game.

I just noticed the Rachet proposition; that might be a little bit more sound. Nintendo's mascot likes platforming, Microsoft's mascot likes shooting, Sony's mascot should like both.

sonys got like 5 different characters fighting for mascot status, which honestly i think is a good thing. It shows your system has some diversity
