Nathan Drake isnt an icon. Hes to generic to be an icon at anytime in Sonys history. Most would struggle to draw him without nothing to copy.
Mariio, Mastercief, Kratos, Sonic are al drawable from memory.
Anyway. Kratos imo is much more of an icon for Sony. Drake looks like every other TPS caracter.

I agree that Drake isn't much of an icon, at least right now, but hardly for the reasons you mentioned. I've not seen many TPS characters look like Drake at all.

I mean generic.
Max Payne, any GTA character, Kane and Lynch etc. Any game that just has a normal human person is hard to portray as an icon. Especially in a world where the real icons are eiither faceless ( Masterchief ) or catooned up. For example Link although a person dresses radically different than jeans and tshirt. Or suit. Or jacket. Link looks iconic.
Marcus Phonenix is a bit different. Because the character stands out. Muscle overload. Thick armour, etc. Its alot more memorable and iconic.
I never remember characters that are plain after finising the game unitl the neext title is announced unless the character looked radically different from the guy next door.

What about Kratos? He looks as unique as it gets. And he is the only guy who managed to destroy the whole world. That should mean something.

Hell yes. Kratos is an icon for Sony. A radically design character. A character wich I can think of before I think of the game hes in.
