I don't even know who half the characters are in Playstation All-Stars.

To simplfy further, is that even possible?

Obviously I'm talking about people who play video games, wtf else would I be talking about?

Most of them would not recognize most of this roster. That means, most PS3 owning gamers too, it's just common sense, these are not recognizable people, it's not hard to put yourself in the mind of the average person that owns a PS3...sheesh. Obviously there are hardcore types who will know all those characters, but the MAJORITY will not know more than half. That is very important for a game.

I mean the appeal of a fighter is it's characters or branding.

Kind  of a ridiculous post. If you reverse that and average person that owned a N64 who knew the characters before release. Most would just say Mario. It is obvious that Sony does not have a Mario, but they have lots of moderate known people like smash did.

Lol.  Do you really think all of those people who know Mario didn't know Luigi and Yoshi?  Do you think they didn't know who link was when Ocarina of Time sold over 7 million copies?  Do you think there are many people out there who weren't familiar with Donkey Kong?  Do you think that people didn't know who Pikachu and Jigglypuff were when Pokemon Red and Blue sold 30 Million copies and Pokemon was the most popular thing on planet Earth?  Do you think that people didn't know who Star Fox was when Star Fox 64 sold 4 million copies?  Even Kirby had a five million seller under his belt and regularly pushed out about 1.5-2 million copies per game.  Ditto for Samus.

The only characters you can claim were really obscure in that game were Captain Falcon and Ness.  Silly post is silly.
