I'm the owner of a new gaming console that is coming out in 2013. I had this conversation with my brother about why gaming systems do great, or fail. He said that every gaming system that does well, usually has a stand alone character that carries their brand. I asked him, well what about Playstation? Who is their stand alone.All of their great characters are from other brands,and not Sony. I like the Earthworm Jim games. Hopefully they will make a new one. Who can guess what parts I used to make this? I sure cant. I just didn't like the arms on the original figure, so changed those out, and modded the legs, sculpted the head and the gun and here he is folks!
Kratos(God of War 3)
Nathan Drake(Uncharted 2)
Sackboy(Little Big Planet)
Ratchet & Clank
I think it's evocative of the changing industry that those companies aren't basing all of their marketing on one mascot anymore. Even Nintendo (even though Mario is forever their icon,) is offering more than that these days.
Fantastic Earthworm Jim, btw. lol
But now,I don't know if there's really a sony stand alone that crossed years.For XBox I'd say Masterchief...
On another note, sony has a lot of cool characters, but I'd say their brand seller is Kratos.
The sculpted head is spot-on!
