Why didn't sackboy become bigger?

As a character design, Sackboy is too generic. I've asked people, who have not played the game, what they thought of the character and they they said he's ugly. The character design must have personality even outside of context, and Sackboy just fails at that. He lacks interesting color or any distinguishing quirk or feature that separates him from common toys. Customisability just don't cut it to be a proper mascot.

The LBP games themselves, while interesting when you've actually played them, feels really floaty. I'm comparing its play style to Mario of course, the biggest platformer game out there. I wish they did not rely too much on generic physics feel of the game, but instead fine tuned the game to make it feel better than real world physics like what most platformer games do.

He's supposed to look generic, he's meant to be a blank slate perfectly customizable for anybody. You create your own sackboy using LBP.
