Is Sackboy even Sony's property?

Let me put it this way.
If I woke up in the middle of the night and Mario was in my room, I would say "Hey, Mario, what's going on? Need to fix the toilet or something?"
If I woke up in the middle of the night and Master Chief was in my room, I would say "Oh, Master Chief. Are there covenant around to mess up? This doesn't look good for me!"
And if I woke up in the middle of the night and a Sackboy was in my room, I would let out a scream like a little girl, lose control of all of my bodily functions and run as fast as I could away.

Mario in my room = That broken toilet is in back, get to work!
Master Chief = Huh??? WTF!!! *911* "There's a freak in a space suit with guns in my house!!!"
SackBoy = Huh??! What the...!!! *Sackboy Smiles and waves* awww..... *hugs* :3

I don't believe Sackboy deserves it. Theres no sales to follow. If i was Sony I would put LBP over and then see how it sells before I consider it a mascot. Mascots are usually some of the top selling faces that make or break a system. The name is synonymous with the system. LBP wont be synonymous with Sony for a good long while.

Sony will bundle this game, it won't really matter how much it sells.

Sacboy is a perfect mascot, reasons to follow:

1. Cute, but not too cute.
2. He wears different costumes, so they can put him in comercials for other games and for the console in general.
3. His rough appearance lends to being cooler than Mario. Which was the key to the successful image of Genesis w/Sonic and PS1 w/Crash.

 

 Cooler than Mario?? That's a bold statement but I do agree with the Sackboys different costumes. Sackboy can easily take on the persona of any protagonist of any AAA Sony games.

i find them cooler than mario, you can dress them like mario :)

or someone kick ass like snake/kratos/sephiroth.

I think choosing something as a mascot before it becomes popular is putting the cart before the horse.

And sackboy is ugly.

Blasphemy!!!

This game will never outsell MGS4 bundled. MGS4 is still more of a draw than this game.
