So what's Playstation's main mascot? Xbox has Master Chief, Nintendo has Mario, and SEGA has Sonic. What character would make sense for the PS. A character that you look at and then go "Hey! That's playstation."

master chief hasn't been a symbol of xbox for at least 5 years now. Some sorta car from forza would more likely be a relevant symbol.

mascots are sort of dead though, there's just nothing that has the staying power of mario or pikachu more accurately, since even mario isn't as widespread as he was a decade ago. People know "those guys from wii sports" more than they know mario on average.

I really doubt it. You'd probably find that Mario, and Nintendo by extension, is one of the world's most recognisable brands.

Crash never was playstation mascot.

Mario, yes. Most people wouldn't be able to name nintendo as the creator of mario. And still, mario has been on a sharp downswing because of the lack of relevant media releases. I mean, did you miss the closing of the rio olympics? twitter was full of "what the fuck is this guy jumping around pipes".

They have many, right now it's Nathan Drake or Ratchet and Clank. It has been in the past Kratos, Sackboy, Sly Cooper, Cole McGrath/Delsin, Jak and Daxter, Crash, the Chimera, and the Helghast. It just depends what first party dev most recently released a game and if any of those are in said game.

They don't have one, they always make new ips for their console and then drop them when they make a new one. Literally the only sony ips that have had a new game on each Sony console is GT and hot shots golf.

You could argue Kratos, Nathan Drake or Sackboy, but none of them have that "it" factor that really makes a mascot character.

It's a real shame because in the 90s they had a stacked deck of recognisable characters; Crash (though I guess he's technically back now), Spyro, Sir Daniel Fortesque, arguably Cloud and Lara Croft too. None were as big as Mario (though Lara and Crash in particular were really big), but they were all related to distinguished series and relatable to the PS brand as well.

>>385337278
>in the 90s they had a stacked deck of recognisable characters
And not just back then but during the PS2 era too they had Ratchet & Clank, Jak & Daxter, Sly Cooper and so on. Sony has had multiple potential mascots but they've more or less dropped all of them for whatever reason.

Because Sony wants to appeal to wider audiences, by following trends, which then leads to blander characters and games, because they're more about appealing to "everyone", rather than building up a proper identity or focus on a specifit group, which is what a title like Gravity Rush does, making it more unique, but lesser known.

Sony had the good idea of not getting stuck with any one franchise, so there's not a single mascot (outside of those cats, I guess, but that's mostly japan-only)

>>385336628
>Sly Cooper
>implying this franchise is old and/or obscure

Except for Gran Turismo and Hot Shots Golf.
And lets not act like they're always great at handling their game properties when we know how Ape Escape died.
