Video Game Console mascots

So we all know that Mario is reppin for Nintendo
and Sonic has Sega in the bag
but what about Playstation and Xbox?
Well, with Xbox, I have heard some people say Master Chief is the main man...
But it sill leaves Playstation high and dry.
Who could it be?!!?!?!?

They don't have one. Microsoft doesn't really have a mascot, MC is just a character for their most popular franchise.They don't really need one anyways, they're doing well.

Sony had crash badicoot for a while...Now it's jak and daxter-or ratchet and clank.(as a kiddies version, blinks for m****soft-censored to protect site)

yes, crash bandicoot was more or less the mascot for the original playstation.

I know he was, but he didn't do a very good job. Or maybe I should say their marketing didn't do a very good job of making him the mascot.

I don't think he was supposed to be the mascot, he just sort of became the mascot by association.

Yes, just like Master Chief. Microsoft and Sony never had a mascot. I think Sony did at one point in Japan, otherwise, they don't have an official mascot.

I think Kratos would be a candidate for the mascot for Playstation these days. As for Microsoft I can see Master Chief being their mascot for the XBOX systems as any time the system is mentioned the usually the first thing I hear is Halo, so it fits.

I think a mascot has to be somewhat kind of friendly, and I dont think Master Chief and Kratos are the friendly kind :P

Back in the day I used to think of Lara Croft whenever I thought of the Playstation 1.

Yeah, I don't know how I could forget about Crash and Lara Croft... good times... but now that both of those games have been released on Nintendo systems, They probably don't really count anymore...

tomb raider was a PC game anyway. the PSX versions came later.

With Crash Bandicoot and Spryo appearing on Nintendo systems I guess they were no longer deemed as Sony's Mascot anymore.

how about Snake from MGS?

He's pretty much Konami's Icon plus the MGS games are not just on Sony systems, Hes been on Nintendo and Microsoft as well.

Konami already has Silent Hill and DDR :P

and Castlevania shame on you to mention Metal Gear Solid and Silent Hill and leave out Castlevania (don't give a damn about DDR :P)

bah I never played Castlevania anyway...

Replying to #18

Probably not missing anything, I like the series tho, but to be honest I have never got around playing any Metal Gear Solid games except the first one on PSX. Alas I am ashamed, but i get over things fairly quick so it will be ok.

I never played MGS or Castlevania.
Blame it on Nintendo when I was younger for the lack of MGS.
As for Castlevania, it just never appealed to me.
The dark halloween-esque "explore a haunted mansion", "kill zombies" games don't really work for me.
