| Chrizum said: lol @ anyone saying Solid Snake. Snake appeared on the NEs way before PlayStation ever existed. There is also a Metal Gear for the PC and GameCube. Solid Snake is a playable character in Brawl. Snake has nothing to do with the PlayStation brand. |
Why does that matter? Many people consider Leon Kennedy to be a Nintendo character despite the PS2 version being the best selling, or Viewtiful Joe despite a couple games being on the Playstation 2. Lots of people consider Ninja Gaiden to be an Xbox franchise despite the series being on platforms such as the PS3 and NES. With Metal Gear Solid, the highest selling games by far are found on the Playstation platforms and they're often considered definitive despite the quality of the other versions or ports.
I believe that Crash Bandicoot was originally the mascot for Sony, but got torn to shreds during the sixth generation and the series went to other platforms to be passed off as pieces. The state that it's in right now is just laughable. Anyways, I think that the notable Sony mascots are the platforming trio known as Ratchet & Clank, Jak and Daxter, and Sly Cooper.
