Does Sackboy deserve to be Sonys' Mascot?

Sacboy is a perfect mascot, reasons to follow:

1. Cute, but not too cute.
2. He wears different costumes, so they can put him in comercials for other games and for the console in general.
3. His rough appearance lends to being cooler than Mario. Which was the key to the successful image of Genesis w/Sonic and PS1 w/Crash.

 

 Cooler than Mario?? That's a bold statement but I do agree with the Sackboys different costumes. Sackboy can easily take on the persona of any protagonist of any AAA Sony games.

 

I love Mario.  But he's not cool.

Stars in great games, he's a fat plumber in overalls.

 

The thing about cool is that cool doesn't stay cool.  Look at Sonic and Crash - look how far cool took them.  Yeah Sonic's last main game sold a million, sure.  Mario decides to go race go karts and it sells 10 million copies.  He plays some baseball and it passes Sonic's main game.  That's not cool, that's legendary, that's iconic.  Like Mickey Mouse or Paul McCartney
