I think the E3 presentation was the first step to install the sackboys as PS mascots.

I think it does need a mascot because it's the only one out of the big three that doesn't have one. Nintendo has Mario, Microsoft has Master Chief (yes, it's MS's mascot, when the masses think Xbox, they think Halo). I think that Sackboy can be Sony's mascot because its 'cute' enough to have casual gamers to look and be curious about, and it represents an awesome game that will speak to the hardcore (especially with the level creation).

I think Sony is going to push Sackboy as their mascot, but Kratos would do nicely as well for the older crowd.

Not trying to be a fanboy. Of course, it's hard when you own the best console eve... dang it

I always considered Crash but he had gone multipatform, they got sly cooper and ratchet and clank. Microsoft has Master Chief and Nintendo has Mario

PS3, WII and 360 all great systems depends on what type of console player you are.

Currently playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, Fallout 3, Halo ODST and Dragon Age Origins is next game

It's too late to establish a mascot.

No it doesn't. PS built itself by having a little of everything not just focusing on FPS or platformers and wacky characters. Having a mascot now would defy the PS origins
