Sony has a new mascot every generation (with the exception of this gen).

Pick one.
A company mascot needs to be a household name even for people who don't play video games. Mario and Captain King fit this bill Nathan Drake never has.
A variety of games that promise the joy of new adventures as opposed to enabling mediocrity through a reliance upon nostalgia.

He's a great character.

Drake also is being carried over to PS4 mascot now though.

PS2 - Ratchet and Clank(?) or Kratos
>>319230006
Sony has said they don't want a mascot.
I'd probably say Ratchet though, since R&C is their most milked franchise.
>>319231012
Ricky Bobby 2 when?
>>319231574
Yes, they do, and they probably will continue to based on the reception Splatoon was given.

Hell only one is actually from an in-house Sony game I think.
No the only mascot they've ever had is Toro and that shit couldn't fly on the west.

Who ever said life was fair? Sony had Crash who was older than Chief but they let him die now they ain't got shit.
>>319231462
I know plenty of people who have never even played a video game that know who those characters are. In fact when most normies think of video games they think of Mario.

Oh, sorry. The crying Nintendo guy confused me
>>319232192
Eh, that accurately describes Sony.
>>319231250
It's a shame that whole saga ended the way it did.
Sony had a really great run of commercials, a rarity for the company, and a great face for the brand too.
Sony came out looking like the bad guys, but as an actor in commercials, you should kind of realise that being seen using a product that is in direct competition to a brand you are under contract with is not the smartest decision.

It doesn't matter what Sony's mascot is. What matters is that Sony's brand continues to represent good games for real gamers.
Meanwhile Nintendo continues to be a "family" brand while MS is just shooters after shooters.

Playstation has too many games/franchises which actually matter, therefore it doesn't have one single mascot to represent it.
>>319230194
Kratos is PS4's Gears of War guy
>>319238371
>Playstation has too many games/franchises which actually matter,
Not really, they make a lot of IPs but not a lot of them actually matter.
You can count the ones that do in one hand.
Unless they do well the first time round they just throw them to the trash.
I don't get the ricky bobby thing
was it some game?

>>319238818
The competition that have built up their IP in different genres rather than milk then in one and throw it to the wolves when it's done?
It's true, Sony does work in the short term.
>>319239090
>Sony does work in the short term
PS1, 2 and 4 won their generations. How is that short term?
>>319239231
And how many games produced by them have survived the gen transition?
I think uncharted might be the only real one.
>>319239564
Why do you want the same things over and over again instead of new things? You spoke ill of milking IPs in your previous post yet are advocating it right now.
Clearly most other people agree with this sentiment, which is why Sony is winning.
>>319230551
Crash is Activision
>>319239231
Because Nintendo and Microsoft have both built up a dedicated amount of fans that will always net them a profit for their products.
Those people aren't going anywhere unless something huge happens.
Sony with their squeeze and tossb way of doing things doesn't reach that level. They milk the fuck out of the game that manages to reach popularity with sequels and then immediately throw it out when they don't achieve those numbers later on in the series life.
>>319240254
In other words Sony stays afloat by constantly mixing things up and appealing to new customers, while the other 2 rely purely on fanboys unconditionally eating up the same shit over and over.
Cool.
>>319239790
>reusing something once a gen is milking
You dumbass, one game a gen isn't the same as three or four in one.
And no, Sony is losing anon. They have the hardware sales but they don't have the software sales on top of that pretty much every division but Playstation is failing hard.
>Xbox has Remember Me?
>Nintendo has Squids
>Playstation has Money
>>319240642
>once a gen
Right, there's only one mario game this gen.
Not going to bother arguing anymore senpai.
>>319240505
In other words Sony is living on risky plays rather than guaranteed profit.
On top of that they're spending more money than necessary on these new games and not seeing adequate returns on them. Ironically, the people are buying the old rather than the new.
>>319238338
The new star ocean
>>319240254
That's a good thing for consumers though. Theyre at least trying new things.
Nintendo has been relying on the same franchises for deaces, while MS just keeps milking Master Chief until he's literally a husk
>>319241028
>In other words Sony is living on risky plays rather than guaranteed profit.
And that's not admirable? They're bringing new things to the table and it's turning out well for them, and should be a good thing for gamers as well unless you're a fandrone who needs the same shit with prettier graphics every gen.
Fuck you fanboys are cancerous. I bet you wouldn't defend CoD going for 'guaranteed profit' by rehashing but it's suddenly a good thing when Sony doesn't do it. Stick to your mario.
>>319240957
>one Mario Kart
>one nsmb
>one smash
>one Mario Party
Spin offs aren't the same as sequels that rely on the same gameplay you idiot.
I think the only one to have more than one release in a gen is Mario Party.
Meanwhile shit like ratchet and clank or uncharted had three releases in one gen.

Not really, they don't have the software sales the likes of Nintendo and Microsoft have and with more money going into games nowadays diminishing returns is the last thing they need.
Unless they get extremely lucky they're going to be in a terrible situation later on while the other two are sitting pretty.

Nathan Drake actually perfectly encapsulates the PlayStation™ 3™ and PlayStation 4™ brands. He is a middle aged, bearded white guy voiced by Nolan North. Through this, he represents the vast majority of the PlayStation™ 3™ and PlayStation™ 4™ library, which star a middle aged, bearded white guy who is also, usually, voiced by Nolan North.
