Snake is out of the question because Sony doesn't own the IP, the franchise could go multiplat at any time..and having a mascot that cheers for both teams makes absolutely no sense. Also, considering an MGS has appeared on both Nintendo and MS consoles (wasn't there one on the original XBOX?), Snake flat out isn't possible.
Kratos is out of the question because for all intents and purposes we should believe that we will never see him again after God of War 3 - the franchise was made to be a trilogy. As far as I know, we aren't getting a 4th..and you can't have a mascot that is only a mascot and who never appears in any new games.
Sackboy would be perfect, except..does Sony own the IP? If so, this may work..I'd like to see Sony purchase Media Molecule anyway. Sackboy is the perfect mascot who transcends both gender and age.
'Random Gran Turismo Driver' is a nay. It just doesn't work. Gran Turismo is a brand-defining game, people instantly think of PlayStation when they hear of Gran Turismo, but there is no character. There is no personality, no pep, no attitude or character whatsoever.
Drake, who wasn't mentioned, is also a possibility. I haven't looked it up, but as far as I know this game could go on forever - I don't think it's set to be a trilogy or anything. And almost everyone who played Uncharted: Drake's Fortune would agree - the game is great. The character is witty, funny, good looking, full of character. His adventures, much like some of the more 'cartoony' characters, are epic adventures that the player wishes they could be a part of. We'll have to see where Uncharted 2 goes, and if a 3rd is planned..but if 2 goes well, why not?
So my vote(s)?
Sackboy
Drake
Sorry I have 2..but I think I explained my decisions well enough to warrant them.
