But if I like Tom and Jerry more, then I would vote for them. How 'big' the character is doesn't really matter here, it's about personal favourites.

It's ok, this doesn't mean anything outside of this forum.
A gaming icon should represent the industry as a whole, not a collection of forum-goers.

Then surely if it was the undustry a whole, that character/icon should have been in every game type.
There is no true "gaming icon", just gaming favourites/icons for certain genres. For example, if my fave genre was FPS... Mario wouldnt be my gaming icon, Gordan Freeman probably would be. Wheras, with platformers... Mario takes it with ease.
