Playstation Mascot

Nintendo has Mario. I guess Master Chief is as good as it gets for Xbox. But who do you think is the ideal character to play the part of a Playstation Mascot?

I think Crash Bandicoot is the old-school mascot, but he just hasn't stuck around.

Maybe SackBoy for the newer generation. Or Kratos?

i approve for the ps 1 to have Crash but he have a good match in Spyro.

In generation 2 it would be ratchet & clank.

Generation 3 would make sackboy a good runner.

I don't think Sony has any strongly Sony-branded dev houses though.

They could just reuse old clips from the game. Maybe even throw in some from SNL or The Simpsons.

Nobody will notice.

Crash or Spyro, for PSone

No one remembers Jak and Dexter? *cries*

Probably Sackboy over Kratos.

I'd say Sackboy is the most suitable mascot for Sony nowadays, though I don't see him used as such very often.

Is there any character that could even be close to a mascot in this generation?

Sack-person seems the best bet. He's adorable enough. Maybe he'll stick around as the mascot when LBP3 comes out.

I'm all for the Sackgirl-fairy... I doubt Sony would be too enthused, though...

Ratchet and Clank aren't first party; that probably shouldn't count.

Though them or Sackboy probably seems reasonable.

I just checked Sony's website, and Sackboy is nearly omnipresent. It seems he is already partially fulfilling the mascot role.
