what i don't understand is this...he is being marketed to little kids yet he is hardcore enough to make sony fans happy?

now if this game was appearing on the wii this would be blasted as super casual and thrown to the dogs by a majority of people proclaiming this as the second coming of Christ.....so confused

No one cares. You're better off posting pictures of cats.

I thought Nathan Hale was Playstation 3's first Mascot. Or Drake. I mean...I know they are realistic people but XBox's mascot was Master Chief.

Nathan Hale?....a Mascot? OMFG!!LMAO!!! For the life of me I cannot understand why Sony let go of Crash Bandicoot. They could've done something with him if commercialized correctly. Now the 360 has him. It's all sad really.

True. I think LBP will sell though, so sackboy would become the playstation mascot. But it's not right now though. I mean, just labelling something a mascot doesn't guarantee it will become an icon for the brand, look at Nintendo.

Sure Mario, Samus, Link, Pikachu and Kirby have become mascots for the company, but there are many many MANY other characters introduced that have never gained that iconic status and instant recognition (most are infamous now though).

Same with the capcom mascot, the lame superhero, I don't even remember his name. Capcom labelled him as their mascot, but who do you remember? Ryu, Megaman and Leon from RE.

Problem now is, outside of the gaming fraternity, how many people know who sackboy is?

P.S I really want one of those sackboy plushies, they look awesome

Captain Commando. I don't think any of his games were released stateside.If they were , it was only one. How could he become popular with only one game to his name?

Maybe they should use a mascott who people who don't already have a PS3 will get? Sackboy is really only being raved about by the Sony community so I imagine to the outside world this is going to look like the wierdest shit ever.

P.S. Captain Commando should so be in the Next Smash Bros.

Well, my sister thinks he's cute. and she's 29.... hardly a gamer. I think sackboy has tremendous potential as the PS3's mascot. I have yet to find someone (in RL) who doesn't think he's cute. Regardless of whether LBP "saves" the PS3 or not, I think sackboy will be accepted by the public as the PS3 mascot. Sony won't have to "force" him on them.

 



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

What the heck? Sony ditches Kratos for some plush toys?

Wow.



GOTY Contestants this year: Dead Space 2, Dark Souls, Tales of Graces f. Everything else can suck it.

Good for sony! I was still hoping for Kratos though.

I think it's a stupid idea - at least until they see how LBP does in the marketplace. It'll be a constant source of embarrassment for them if it's a failure.

Just imagine if they had made a dragon from Lair into their official mascot.

I mean, we all have great hopes for LBP but it could still suck in the end. People thought Lair was going to be great, too.
