WTF...I hate Sony and I've heard of Jak and Daxter and Sackboy.

I don't exactly "hate" sony but don't call me a fan

Basically Sony's mascot should be the first character most people think about when they hear Playstation. I'll bet Solid Snake comes on top. But I guess the 'official' mascot still is Sackboy since they said it themselves. This statement makes sense, it's 'kiddie friendly' and works well with older people too. Also, the Sackboy can be customized to fit almost everyone.

sloid snake comes to my mind but i guess it sort of works cuz the only other system that has a metal gear solid game (that isnt playstation) is NES and gameboy, right?

Personally, I think Snake is the mascot. But logically he's not. Still, a mascot needs to work with everyone, and he's just not the mascot type for kids. And didn't he die or something in MGS4 since it was his last story? A mascot simply can't be dead or +60 years of age who smokes for a hobby and has some kind of disease eating him up inside.

Why is everybody forgetting Lara Croft?? She made her debut on the Playstation and was considered the mascot for years.

Ah, an adventurous babe. That's probably more appealing to people than Old Snake. She's clearly a better choice. Not as good as Sackboy though imho.

Nathan Hale = Resistance
Jan Templar = Killzone
Jak & Dexter.. .game is the same name.
Sackboy = Littlebigplanet.

And these days, Solid/Old Snake is WAY more memerable than Lara Croft. Tomb Raider is nothing these days.

mascot implies first party character, snake cant be because he is property of konami. toro is sonys mascot in japan as far as i know

Sonys Mascot is Sackboy as far as I know, but the most recongisble Playstation character? I think not.

Abe anyone?

Tomb Raider, and it was on Saturn first.

Yes Tomb Raider was on Saturn first, then DOS and PlayStation - 1996 ... remember playing it for 2 minutes on a demo disk and thinking it was a pile of poop and not bothering with it. (Controversial!

) Link 1 Link 2

Don't think Sony has a mascot for the PlayStation; I guess their logo is the mascot!
