So no Master Chief or Crash Bandicoot but Nancy Drew is there? OK

Even if Nancy Drew wasn't on the list, I wouldn't put Crash or MC in it. Exatly how important were they as CHARACTERS? Crash was only just another Sonic impersonator and Master Chief is just an average space dude with hardly any personality and almost no dialogue.

Crash Bandicoot: Sony's mascot ( in PS1 days ) and he was the greatest platformer character after Mario

Maste Chief: Xbox's mascot, the icon on FPS games on consoles.

They added Nintendo's mascot and SEGA's mascot why not Sony's and MS's mascot?

Very simple, Crash hardly had any influence. Can you name at least 3 attributes of Crash that are still visible in this day and age and weren't done before? Honestly, Crash as a character is just a Sonic rip-off, and his games, well, Mario already did it.

And master Chief, well... for one he has only been the MS posterboy for 2 years and that is way too short. Besides that his persoanlity just hasn't been that influencial yet. We knew that console-RTS's can be strong since the N64 days and the grizzled space-marine thing has been done since Doom/Quake. And honestly, Nukem's personality is just more fleshed out and influencial then MC's.
