he was originally so he can count. The new crash game isnt out yet so let him still fall under that.
But if you really want a mascot for Sony... choose Ratchet or Jak. Â |
Jak and Ratchet were never mascots... Ever... Sales are just not high enough. A true mascot competes against Mario, like Sonic, and Crash. Until Ratchet, or Jak, have sold more than 39 million games, they are not as popular as Crash, nor can they be considered a true mascot. I liked Crash. I grew up with him. I enjoyed Ratchet too. More so than Jak. I absolutely loved the first Jak and Daxter game. It was really well done. But I hated Jak 2 and Jak 3. Very ugly, depressing, and the characters were hidious. Ratchet and Clank is good. Kind of boring sometimes, but good. I don't like Sly Cooper much though. Can't wait for the new Ratchet game. It's going to kick ass.
Anyways, Sony never made Jak, or Ratchet (escpecially not Jak AND Ratchet, but Jak OR Ratchet, since Sony can only have one, like everyone else) a mascot, unlike Crash, which they did with the PS1, because Crash was just more popular. It's been such a long time ago, that's why people don't seem to remember the power he had on Sony. He was more of a video game icon before, than now. Sonic is kind of losing its power too, especially with those newer games coming out. When you see a picture of Sonic, you immediately thing, "Oooh... Sonic the Hedgehog 2," not "Oooh, Sonic the Hedgehog for the Xbox 360." Same with Crash. When you look at him, you think "Oooh... Crash Bandicoot 2," not "Oooh, Crash of the Titans." He sucks now, like almost every other mascot that was good in the past. I personally would have much rather had Sony stick with Crash (Spyro is debatable. He is good, but I found his games a little too childish) in the PS2 generation. Oh well... At the end, they are all good.
Anyways, Ratchet and Jak are closer to being a mascot on the PS2, than Crash, but, Crash is PS1s mascot, more so than Ratchet and Jak for the PS2. I wonder if Sony will replace their platform franchises again, later in the PS3's life. Maybe we'll have...
