[QUOTE="Floppy_Jim"] but then theres kratos sackboy! D:seannn199
[QUOTE="Floppy_Jim"]Yes, Kratos is their greatest mascot, methinks. He makes a better mascot than Sackboy who is basically just a living sack.seannn199but then theres kratos sackboy! D: hmmmmmmm that is true lol so i guess sackboy would be the number one lol but hey they are all great mascots and all have great games
For me, it would be Kratos, Sackboy, helghast, nathan hale, and/or Nathan Drake.
It would be kinda hard to limit it just to one mascot on ps3 lol
exactly lol the PS3 is so awesome it cant be limited to just one mascot, its got plenty.i think its either kratos, sackboy or helghast kratos: one badass looking guy that would pwn anything/anyone standing in its way sackboy: friendly looking thing, funny sometimes helghast: when dark, those red eyes make them look reall badass lol or the could make a mix of all 6 of them and have a mutant as mascot lolkweeniu hit the nail on the head bro. u cant go wrong with any of those guys! n ur right the helghast has some bad ass red eyes. i also agree with you when u said killzone 2 will get a 9.5, the demo was sick n im going to pick that game up.
Kratos Nathan Hale Nathan Drake Sackboy Ratchet & Clank The HelghastKurdish-Gamerwell put. it could be any of those characters. thats what i like about playstation, plenty of variety in mascots for the PS3.
If Kratos is face of Playstation, then that's one fugly face playstation has.
I thought it was widely accepted that Sackboy was the face of playstation.
u know what? ur right. when u see playstation ads alot of the time u see sackboy, n hes probably more accepted. the hardcore will say they want it to be kratos but that is a very violent game so yea ur right sackboy is more welcoming and is just happy i cant even play little big planet without smiling at least once lol and thats what games are all about, having fun. (god of war is fun also) but yea i agree kratos is mean and ugly and always scowls but hes bad azz so im a fan of his but the more accepting character might be sack boywhat about snake?pooka216snake is on other platforms i dont know if he can be a mascot for playstation.

DON'T YOU DARE INSULT SACKBOY OR HE WILL PWN YOU WITH THE PAINTANATOR.
haha im a huge fan of sackboy's as well. they are both awesome mascots and can share the spotlightagreed with u totally except for the importance part. IMO God Of War and Little Big Planet are both important flagship franchises for sony. its nice that sony has a mascot for the mature audience and a mascot for the younger/family audience. thats cool. i think that every console should do so and i think every future console will do so. for example nintendo has mario for the fam, samus for the hardcore (with conduit and madworld mascots coming also) and xbox 360 will .......(eventually)...... have a younger/family oriented mascot for the 360.in terms of a more mature 'mascot' and more important franchise, id go with Kratos. But in terms of family friendly, its Sackboy (no matter how cute you make Ratchet he still shoots things and thats not really PC, even though if i had kids id get it for them)
popdude
i just read an article in GI and they think that kratos is the mascot sony needs to stand side by side with master chief (360) and mario (wii).
now i love the god of war games and while kratos may have a bad azz attitude, is he the top mascot for sony right now do u think? or could it be sack boy from little big planet, ratchet, or the guy from killzone?
IMO i dont think that they need one definitive mascot i like that they have many to choose from and all are great games from different genres so you cant go wrong with any of them but kratos is probably the mascot to go head to head with MC (and will make great sales with GoW3) sack boy may be the mascot that is more mario-like and more family friendly (and has had some success and is becoming a bit more popular)
