Nobody mentions Toro?
He is undisputedly the most popular sony character in Japan, and the cutest.
Wonder why SCEA don't introduce mainichi issyo in the US and Europe...

Mascots really haven't been a big deal since the PS1/N64 era. Mario does have great brand identification though, as does Zelda.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
| Ronster316 said: SONY came along and effectively stuck 2 fingers up at SEGA and killed them purely due to sonys financial muscle.... to even suggest that SONY are even half as talented as SEGA is INSANE..... sony BOUGHT their success....... theres a difference between buying your success (SONY) and having actual talent (SEGA) and yes, sega have faltered over the years, but its hardly suprising considering a lot of the staff who worked for sega now have to ply their trade elsewhere......... and that list above of SO CALLED sony MADE games is trebled by SEGA.... |
This is a little bit disturbing and also sad. I think it's clear at this point, Ronster316, that you have a deep and personal grudge against Sony, quite possibly due to its being responsible for the undeserved death of the Dreamcast and by extension your beloved Sega and (dare I say it?) your very hopes and dreams.
Yes, Sony has bought up talent. Does this somehow negate the accomplishments of these now-Sony studios? Is the praise for Metroid Prime somehow undeserved because it isn't "really" a Nintendo game?
Your feelings on whether or not Sony is WORTHY of the success they got via hired talent are not relevant to this thread, sir. Take it elsewhere, preferably to a thread of your own creation because I cannot imagine that there is any other thread your rant would be appropriate in.
P.S. I do like the use of "trebled", however. No sarcasm, dead serious.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

I have the most epic death scene ever in VGChartz Mafia. Thanks WordsofWisdom!
Sackboy? It's a good idea, but you're asking for a couple of dirty puns when you mention him.
Kratos is too scary for mass appeal and Solid Snake isn't really mass oriented (cutscenes anyone?).
Sony used to have em', but for now, I'd say Ratchet & Clank.

That's not the point. tombi just said it was MORE massive than those other franchises. Zelda? Yes. Halo? Arguably. Mario? Don't kid yourself. |
Just to clarify some of this, the DS install base at the release of NSMB and the NES install base at the release of SMB3 was greater than the PS2 install base at the release of GT3.
This lies in stark contrast to the general belief on this site that every game released to the full LTD hardware sales of its respective console.
Consoles owned: Saturn, Dreamcast, PS1, PS2, PSP, DS, PS3

universal sold both the crash and spyro ips. Both insomniac and naughty dog used to call the universal studios backlot their home.
naughty dog when it was called Jam studio was signed (by universal) to a three title deal (ended up being the first three crash games). As is the industry norm the company that put up the money keeps the IP. They made a forth crash game and then sony bought them. The IP remained with universal.
insomniac was signed by universal. they made the first three spyro games and distruptor in that deal. when the deal ended universal got to keep the IP.
I just noticed something interesting while reading a bit more into spyro (its from wiki so who knows how credible it is).
Spyro the Dragon (working title) is an upcoming 3-D animated feature film based on the popular Spyro video game series. On October 25, 2007, it was announced that the film rights for Spyro the Dragon had been purchased by The Animation Picture Company.[6] Daniel Altiere and Steven Altiere will write the script which is going to be based on the recently released Legend of Spyro trilogy of games in the Spyro the Dragon series.[6] The film will be produced by John Davis (who has worked on films such as Norbit and Eragon), Dan Chuba, Mark Dippe, Brian Manis and Ash Shah.[6][7] No director has yet been hired and a release date has not been announced.
The movie will follow Spyro, a rare purple dragon of prophecy, on a voyage of self-discovery. As he struggles to come to terms with his amazing potential, Spyro will find himself embroiled in an epic struggle against an ancient evil.[8]

i have a personal grudge against sony yes.......... im sick of them been praised for things that they did not actually accomplish themselves....... some fools still to this very day beleive that tekken and time crisis started the 5th gen revolution of 3D gaming..... WRONG... tekken and time crisis are both blatant RIP OFFS of Virtua fighter and virtua cop (both made by SEGA), the most alarming thing is that people think that tekken and time crisis are SONY games ha ha ha, moment of truth folks.... they are BOTH namco games...... it was the money in their VERY DEEP pockets that got SONY to where they are today ( Not their actual talent, because thats somthing they lack)...... did you know that SONY were not even interested in videogames in the beginning? history lesson..... back in 1992 SEGA were working on the first fully blown CD based console (i know the Mega CD was CD based but it was an add on) anyway, SEGA were working alonside NEC to create the SATURN.... Nintendo caught wind of this development and decided that they too wanted to make their next console CD based.... (they didn't want to fall behind the competition).. anyway, nintendo hired ken kutugari to help them with a sound chip and to make their CD based console a reality...... right.... anyway, nintendo and ken kutugari fell out due to naming rights for nintendos new proposed console and thus ken was dropped from the project..... from there ken "theif" kutugari ran to SONY like a scalded dog with the HARDWARE and SOFTWARE knowledge that he had stolen from nintendo during his time there and thus the playstation was born....... SONY LOOKED DOWN UPON VIDEOGAMING until ken kutugari came along with his stolen proposals......... theres articales all over the net stating that sony didn't even like vidoegames back in the day........... and look at ken now, his blatant ripping off of nintendo landed him the job of sonys president for many years.... do you know what inspired ken to want to get in to gaming? he saw his daughter playing MARIO and somthing inside him just triggered and from that day he wanted to get in to gaming......... its just a shame that SONY had to come in to this business under such SEEDY circumstances....... so if anyone questions why i have NO RESPECT for sony i will forever point out this post just to put the record straight once and for all........ and for those who are either too young or just simply do not know....... i STORNGLY advise you to google search and type in these 2 words........ PLAYSTATION PROTOTYPE....... read the 1st article at the top of the page and then come back and tell me that my hatred of SONY is not justified........... screw you playstation.... or should i call you by your real name...... Famicom-Playstation.............
