This is the most generic mascot ever :S
Even the name, sackboy. Why didn't they choose a proper name?

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.
This is an amazing mascot for a console... if that console was the Wii. I thought the PS3 crowd were the hardcore gamers and somehow Sackboy feels just a tiny bit too much like Mario, casual and friendly, for the PS. I've always viewed Snake as the Playstation mascot, just as Sonic was the Sega mascot. Another thing, I have not seen a mascot being made by the company. The mascots make themselves after a game's sucess not before. This could be a bad move for Sony, or a really good one.

Exactly. Theres nothing relatable about the character. It won't stick like they expect.

lol ,, that got me thinking !! do u think the mascots gonna be the original brown sackboy ?or a unique sackboy/girl gonna be created for effect? |
They should have a sackboy for every game. When the God of War III trailers end they should have the kratos sackboy next to the PS3 emblem. Same with Killzone 2, FFXIII, Resistance 2, etc. Have a special character for every game.
I love the haters in here. "Sackboy is creepy". PSH.
Console Agnostic since 2001.

That would be awesome!
At the end of a MotorStorm 2 commercial, they could have the Evel Knievel sackboy riding a LBP car around the PlayStation 3 logo. Or at the end of the Killzone 2 commercials, they coul have the Helghast sackboy standing by the logo. And when the God of War III commercials start airing, have Kratos smacking stuff around.
Maybe they could do exclusive marketing deals with third parties as well. Imagine an RE5 commercial with a zombie sackboy (whose arms are sticking straight out) meandering about at the end, and then a Chris sackboy that walks out and smacks the zombie sackboy across the screen.
