Like others have said, I don't see this Sony "iconic worlds, characters.." thing. They have some truly great games in some great franchises. But, the reality is that once you leave the Nintendo characters and the Mushroom Kingdom, the only video game characters that you'll find non-gamers often aware of are Sonic, and to a much lesser extent, Master Chief. Maybe Pac-Man among the older generations.

I would argue Rayman and Lara Croft are quite iconic. But true, Nintendo has a great talent to develop lasting characters. Maybe because they don't give up on them and jump to a different series. Sony abandoned Spyro and Crash, maybe if they had stick with them they would be as iconic today as Mario.

I'm pretty sure Sony has never owned those IP's. As far as I'm aware Spyro was owned by Universal Studios, then acquired by Activison. Crash Bandicoot was also owned by Activision and currently still is. Sony just published their games.
