Gonna have to say Mario. The fact that the series manages to keep releasing such high quality titles and maintain sales for this long is phenomenal.

Mario is the face of gaming.

For people who don't know much about gaming or Mario fans, that is.

I would say every gamer has their own different array of characters they immediately associate with video games, for example, a PC-only gamer is more likely to think of Gordan Freeman before Mario.

So, I don't know much about gaming when I say Mario is the most famous video game franchise?

Give yourself a break.

That's not what I'm saying at all. What I meant by that is that people who don't play games (and so don't know much about them) would maybe think of Mario as the face of gaming, as well as Mario fans (I'm saying you're the latter, obviously you know plenty about video games and play them). I'm basically saying Mario isn't the face of gaming to most gamers, so I find calling that franchise/character the face of gaming odd.
