Yeah, but the only diff is that Sony can't handle a system w/o 3rd party support... Unlike Nintendo, Sony doesn't have franchises to fill the holes left by 3rd parties... |
Although Sony does have strong franchises like Gran Turismo, Uncharted, God of War and LittleBigPlanet. 4 very strong franchises, but I do agree that Nintendo has more recognizable characters.
But that comes from slapping their characters on absolutely everything that possibly was going to be seen. Mario has been the biggest whore in gaming. Been everywhere.
|
Only Mario (and some of the rest of the Mushroom Kingdom) have been in a lot of games. Can't think on any other Nintendo character that have been in so many games of different genres.
|
I am not going to get into a long winded debate or discussion of Nintendo placing their characters everywhere they can fit them.
TV shows, movies, console, handheld, arcades, board games, trading cards, McDonalds toy deals, Panasonic CD-i, plush toys/dolls, and many, many more other product placement.

Only going to say one thing (more will require an other thread) those examples you said only applied to Mario and some other of the same universe (Pokemon can be here as well). I don't see Fox, Link, Samus, Marth, Kirby, DK, Captain Falcon, Olimar, Ness, Pit, etc. on all those things you mentioned. (except of course consoles, handhelds and Link on the CD-i xD)
