@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.

So, the fact that people have already mentioned Sackboy countless times means nothing to you eh? People didn't say "LittleBIGPlanet", they said Sackboy. Now tell me, does he not classify as a mascot by any means? He WAS promoted, he WAS represented. No, he's not Mario or Master Chief, but he is a known Playstation character who was quite promoted as a symbol of the brand, which once again, was the OP's initial question.
What more do you need?

key words highlighted...
I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed how quick he was dropped by Sony.
|
Really? I don't follow. There's a LBP PSP game coming and he was just shown off at E3 as a representation to one of their new slogans, along with ModNation Racers. Either you're joking or trolling....

Dude, your the one who stated that sackboy "was"....
I didn't change your words, call it a "freudian slip" if you want. If you believed that he's still promoted by Sony than you would have stated "he's promoted, he's represented".
lol, you even CAPLOCKED "WAS".
