They're AIMING for that, not decided, Companies can't use a character from an unproven franchise as a mascot. Doesn't work that way. Mass appeal is what decides.

 

 Sony has had too many games with far more interesting characters in its time. Nintendo did the right job with the NES by having the first game EVER be Mario/Duck hunt. Same for Sega with Sonic. Sony started out with Crash and dropped him when the franchise has sold more than 20 M.

Sony did not "drop" Crash.  They never owned him in the first place.

Sony dropped Crash. They are a subsidiary of Sony.

Nope.. naughty dog sold the franchise.

Crash used to be epic though.. now it's not even coming out for the ps3.. the franchise has died.

In either case. Sony has not 1 mascot but rather many.

Naughty Dog never owned the franchise.  Just as neither Insomniac nor Sony owned Spyro.  Universal Interactive owns both, and always has.

well naughty dog developed crash originally.. i think they did atleast own parts of it. I read about it somewhere.. i might be completely off tho :p

 

In either case the franchise DIED ! horribly !
