A mascot can be anything that represents the said company, which ALL I listed do. Therefore, they have plenty of mascots, every company has them. This should be common knowledge. |
I guess we just have different standards for what a mascot is. For me a mascot is something which is so closely linked to a company that you almost automatically think of one after the other. Having many equally powered "mascots" completely negates that idea.
For example, when people think of Nintendo they think of Mario, and when they think of Mario they think of Nintendo. This is true for a very high proportion of the public, even people who never play games. Sony doesn't have anything like that even among gamers, let alone the mass public.
mascot: a person or animal that is adopted by a team or other group as a symbolic figure

My list contains symbolic figures which are what mascots are.
Did Sony ever adopt any of those figures as the symbol for SCE? I don't think so.
