Blinx would have been Microsoft's mascot, but he failed. He was never a star like Crash, Sonic, or Mario. He fell right out of the game case. All his games got reviews between 60-79%, which isn't considered good for a mascot. I guess Master Cheif is Microsof's mascot. If that's for sure, then he would make the first, first person shooter mascot, instead of a platformer mascot. But if the rule is, "only platformer characters can be mascots," then I guess Blinx would have to be Microsoft's mascot, even though he failed.
