Ok, it's true that Sony doesn't have a lot of recognised characters, but Ratchet/Jak/Sly/Kratos/Drake, etc are all famous enough to have their own brawl game.
I don't think Microsoft has enough known character. Yes, there are Master Chief, Marcus from Gears...and then?
This two are more famous than any other Sony's characters, but they're just two!

Banjo Kazooie

They might have a bit of difficulty getting it past Nintendo, is my only worry.

Why would it be difficult?

Rareware owns Banjo Kazooie, not Nintendo

Last time I checked, Nintendo published Banjo Kazooie, which is why there's only been the one 360 game (and not a very good one at that). It's also why there's no Conker, or Starfox, or Goldeneye/ Perfect Dark exclusives for the 360. 

There's a not-so-straightforward deal between the two, I feel. It's why Rare still does the odd game for Nintendo (Viva Pinata, Diddy Kong Racing), and why they've mainly had to do new IP's. 

It would not be straightforward, and it's if Microsoft really care. I don't think they do.

Dude I think you need to research a bit.

Starfox is owned and made by Nintendo. Rare only made Nintendo 1 game Starfox Adventures.

Also Conker appeared on Xbox 1. Microsoft own the IP's for Conker, Banjo & Kazooie, Perfect Dark etc etc. The only Rare game Nintendo can stop Microsoft getting is Goldeneye 007. The rest is purely down to Microsoft not making them. Nothing to do with Nintendo.

EDIT: Thats why Microsoft released Banjo & Kazooie, Banjo Tooie, Perfect Dark all on XBLA. Nintendo will never be able to release them online because Microsoft owns them.

 

Still Microsoft choose to waste these great franchises. Its suc a bloody shame. Lionhead would be a good studio to use.
