Why not showing them the words of Nintendo, Playstation or Xbox???, you know, the brands that we are actually discussing....what will happen then??

Yes, and if you do the same with portraits of all USA presidents, you will know who is the orange king of the world, I completely agree.
Deus Ex (2000) - a game that pushes the boundaries of what the video game medium is capable of to a degree unmatched to this very day.

PS3 is around 85m same like X360, and PSP actually sold 82m.

Pretty much this.
Even though Playstation 3 had an awful start and Sony made many mistakes with it the console still managed to outsell every other non-Playstation console with the exception of the Wii and became the fourth best sellng console of all time. Only the king of consoles can make such a decisive turn.

There are parts in the world where people still refer consoles as Atari.

Preferably a non American audience of course.
I think we know who would be more recognized.

Stupid argument. Unlike Kratos or MC the Mario character has been milked by Nintendo now for more than 30 years. How many different franchises/genres does he have now? Super Mario 2D, Super Mario 3D, Mario Party, Mario Kart, Mario Tennis and so many more... Besides that Mario is one of the only few popular characters Nintendo has while Sony has more great and popular characters in different franchises besides Kratos for example Nathan Drake, Ratchet, Sackboy, Aloy, Cole MacGrath to name a few...

That is true - Nintendo knows how to make cheap products and sell it for a high price. Their games cost very little to make as they recycle concepts with the games being very samey across the generations. |
Nintendo games are usualy cheaper than AAA games for other developers because they dont go for ultra realistic games that have movie story, voice acting, characters...so that dont have with recycle concepts of games,actually all their new games of existing IPs are heavily relies on new concepts, for instance every 3D Mario and 3D Zelda are very different, Uncharted games are much more similar than 3D Mario and 3D Zelda games.
Saying all that, on Zelda BotW around 300 people worked almost 5 years despite game dont have realistic graphics and have movie story, but thats why got probably best game of generation.

I am not sure if you are serious? Mario, Pikachu, Link, Zelda, Luigi, Donkey Kong, Yoshi, Kirby, Toad, Peach, Bowser...are some of most popular and most valuable characters and IPs in gaming industry, I am not even heard for last 3 PS characters that you mentioned and you mentioned them like example of great and popular characters. :D

This may be the case for Nintendo fans and some older gamers who grew up with Nintendo,Only Mario(he's practically a Mascot for the Japanese nation nowadays) and Pikachu are recognizable if one isn't a Nintendo fan/Knowledgeable gamer or just a casual gamer.
its just like in Sports, NBA Stars are household names in the USA and i assume those soccer/football stars are in Europe/latin america.
