Well as usual Just Thats Gamers bias about Uncharted is getting to make me laugh once again.

So in the PS1 time i associate two maskots with Playstation: Crash and Spyro
In PS2 times: Ratchet and Clank, Jak and Daxter,Sly and Kratos ( of course thes mascots werent as big as Crash to be fair)
In PS3 time: Kratos, Drake, Sackboy

With that beeing said i dont think that only having one big maskot is the right decision. Think abou it what will happen to Nintendo if people slowly starting to loose interest in mario.( of cours that wont happend over night).
Of course mario is a big money maker and sells a shitloads of consoles but if people really will loose interest sometimes in the mario brand than that would be a financial disaster for them. The same goes for Microsoft if people loose interest in halo and Master Chief.

I think its better two have more than just one maskot or game associatet with the brand. Better to have two or three big mascots than only have one super big maskot. Thats how i see it.

For the PS4: I do think that Drake and Kartos will be there for sure and each of them has agreat chance to become bigger as the fans wanted more of them and of course sony knows that and will support this IP well.

But i am not really sure if Sackboy will be there. The next step for Sackboy would be 3d levels but willthis automatically grow the series- i dont know.

Maybe ( and i hoping it will happen) Sony have brought back Crash bandicoot and we didnt know it. Woule be awesome if he will make a comeback with the PS4.

Otherwise i think Sony will have a fairly good chance of creating a new maskot with next gen like they did with Drake and Uncharted with the PS3.
