Drake kills brown people or pirates, which are essentially aliens on the "is the public offended by this" scale. Nobody take that the wrong way please, I'm not saying it's right, just saying that there wouldn't be some outrage by the public if he reached Chief's popularity. |
Interesting. Well people are pissed now that in Bioshock Infinite you only kill white people. http://www.destructoid.com/racists-call-bioshock-infinite-a-white-killing-simulator-240586.phtml
People never seem to amaze me.
OT: Drake with be the main mascot. He will be closely followed by Turkish and than maybe Sackboy/Kratos.

They are all evil my friend. Yes that includes Mario despite how i saw it as a child.

exactly... if they were from the middle east nobody would give a shit.
Playstation doesn't have a mascot, it has never needed one. Although if I had to choose the most popular, it would probably be Nathan Drake. Unless they come up with another amazing IP for next-gen.
People would go crazy if Crash returned in style...
Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!
My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/
My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.
A brand new character. Look at the mascots for each gen.
Crash and Spyro - not around before Gen 5
Ratchet and Jak - not around before Gen 6
Sackboy and Drake - not around before Gen 7.

No way. Nathan Drake is way too generic and isn't from a popular enough franchise to be the mascot. You're so quick to assume Uncharted is the most popular using Vgchartz's numbers but if you had a clue you'd know it is Sony's most bundled franchise ever and wouldn't be half as big as it is without being given away for free with millions of PS3's.
A mascot has to be a easily distinguishable character from an acclaimed and popular series. That is why Kratos is Sony's mascot because none of the others come close.
God of War is a much bigger franchise than Uncharted, the sell on average 5 million and they DON'T need to be bundled at all to reach those numbers. Averaging across all the games God of War is also the most critically acclaimed franchise Sony had. Kratos is easily recognisable and he is by far the most popular and beloved character Sony has, he has also appeared in the most games outside of his franchise than any other Playstation character and has been parodied in many games and on TV on an episode of The Simpsons. All of Sony's characters combined haven't been tattooed on people's bodies as much as Kratos alone has, how many people have you seen have a Nathan Drake tattoo? I've seen not a single one and probably never will.
Proof that regardless of Uncharted's massively bundled sales according to Vgchartz God of War is a far more popular and beloved franchise and Kratos is A LOT more popular than Nathan Drake.
God of War (3,940,000 fans ) - https://www.facebook.com/godofwar.page?fref=ts
Uncharted (525,000 fans ) - https://www.facebook.com/pages/Uncharted-2/111738242177766?fref=ts
Kratos is undeniably Sony's mascot. Next generation will bring about new potential mascots but Nathan Drake will never qualify no matter how much you Uncharted fans hope he will or even think he already does, as long as the Uncharted games need to be massively bundled by Sony in an attempt to artificially make them popular and relevant as opposed to God of War where us the gamers have made it popular it will never be Sony's key franchise and Nathan Drake will never be even half as popular and beloved as Kratos.
