Crash was legendary because he came out of nowhere to take on Mario and with his brand won. Sonic was a awesome bad ass but overall Sega lost. Mascot helps Brandname. Its their front man that people can associate with. When you think Sonic you think Sega, When you think Mario you think Nintendo, when you think Master Cheif you think MS, and now when you think Sackboy you will think Playstation. I do believe that Sony will push a duel mascot feeling once GoW 3 come around you will see Kratos and think Sony as well. Ninty has ton of "mascots". I think having alot of mascots was the feeling during the ps2 era but now we are getting more of one frontman |
Crash was the second best selling mascot platformer during the PS1/N64 era. By that time Sonic was wayyyyyy out of the picture. Sonic couldn't touch Mario nor Crash.
