Forums - Sony - What is the PS3's Halo or Mario?

I thought this thread was about Brand Recognition....Not sales..Anyways....
Like many people said Sony does not need a Mascot....
Or do they?
The Sony console staple is Final Fantasy...Or Syphon Filter....

syphon filter

WHAT!

you mention that game that probably 5 people WW care about & don't mention Gran Turismo



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

What's up with people saying that sony has a lot of variety in franchises and there for have no mascot?

I can name a lot of games here from Nintendo that have sold better and got better reviews... It's not because you have a lot of variety in franchises that you can't have a mascot. I'd say either Kratos or Sackboy.

Ps: I'm not saying Sony doesn't have variety in their franchises, they do, but that doesn't mean they can't have a mascot like Nintendo. They'll never have a mario that's for sure, but that's IMPOSSIBLE.

P.S.S: Don't say Nintendo doesn't have variety in their franchises, because I'll just tell you to play super smash bros. brawl then.

playstation doesn't rely on one or two franchises, rather a multitude of them, thats why it was so successful over the years. But if I had to choose, it has to be Gran Turismo. All of them have sold over 10 million each, which actually makes it bigger than halo.


Yeah all of them!

Well.... Except 2.... out of 4.... which is not all of them...



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

Maybe because they can't really put anyone over the other because they've been so definitive of their brand.

Travis Touchdown ERECTION CONFIRMED!

So?



 



They never really focused on pushing one specific franchise so there is none... but I guess in Sales GT is the closest thing.



4 ≈ One

It's kinda hard to have a car as a mascot though...

Halo isn't the 360's Mario.


Master Chief is the 360's mascot.

Not even close, when FF is on other systems as well, whether it be multi-platform versions or even the CC series.
