@CGI-Quality: I don't want my opinion to become a fact, on the other hand I expect people to use the existing definition of what a mascot is, and not one tailored to just support whatever argument one can think of.

Make sure to tell me when Sony adopts one of their characters as extensively as Nintendo uses Mario. Actually you won't have to tell me because at that moment it should become obvious to everyone.

Examples of Nintendo using Mario (and Mario only) as their symbol:

So, by your standards, Sony has no mascots because they don't promote them as often or widespread as Nintendo...? Hmmm....o...k...

No... By my standard, none of Sony's characters are their mascot because they haven't adopted them as their symbol (or SCE's symbol, or PS's symbol). That requirement was in the definition you posted (and all of the definitions of "mascot" that I've seen).

As I said there's something that many people associate with the Playstation brand, and that's the Gran Turismo franchise... however, a franchise does not make a mascot as it's not a character.
