I think each PlayStation console/generation has almost had their own mascots. And right now Sony is playing around to see if they can expand Astrobot as a full on mascot from now own, or if it will stay just as a PSVR and PS5 mascot.
Yeah, that's a great idea. Have your mascot be a derivative character, in a game that copies shamelessly from NINTENDO. That's a great idea for mascot optics. A copycat.
@@ColCuts me too brother, it was a pleasant surprise. This generation has been meh for us playstation fans. I'm really hoping silent hill 2 remake ends up being good.
crash is quite iconic to OG PS Fans like me. i would've liked spyro more to be mascot but now seeing PS5 Lack of mascot due to REALISM. It's just like disney's and Nickelodeon's problems shared problems each other since 2018-2019-2024
@@Handlelesswithme dude what? No. All three of those series started on PS2 and are considered classics. They had very successful trilogies on that specific platform.
Playstation has mascots. They just have a lot of them. If xbox had a character as cool as joel, they would never be happy with killing off that character, which hurts the games. A character being a mascot puts too much weight on the devs' shoulders because if the mascot game is bad, the platform is bad
@@aligameover6138 EXACTLYY- i really like their approach of having multiple characters that define them as they evolve rather than being stuck with a set one only
You make a great point but nintendo has a lot of mascots, but mario overshadows them as almost always bringing their a game in their games and party games. PlayStation had a lot but none of them overshadow eve.
I think a big reason on why sony doesnt have that mascot like Mario or Master Chief is simply because, they change identities every generation. Ps1 was a jack of all trades, Ps2 was that but with a bit of Edge, Ps3 focus more on scope and bigger sets, Ps4 focus more on narrative driven games and now we are up to the ps5 where it seems like narrative driven games is sony brand. Each generations feels so different from each other that you can't really have a definitive mascot to represent it. Unless you wanna count Toro Inoue whose really only their mascot in japan.
@@RenTalksAbout you’re right on the money with what i was thinking- it’s nice to see multiple characters that make up different eras of playstations history
@@RudieObias Technically yeah since his first appearance was "The Playroom" built in on PS4, then later transitioned onto the PS5 era via "Astro's Playroom"
Between Crash, Sly, Ratchet, Kratos, Sackboy, Nathan Drake, Parapa, spike or the apes, anything persona and finally now Astrobots it’s almost impossible to pick from one to represent them all. The way Sony has done things makes it way harder now to pick a definitive mascot! At least that’s how I see it, with a big platform like Sony it might not need one and just represents gaming as a whole instead of one to rule them all. (But to pick for the more kid friendly I’d say Parapa, Sackboy, Crash and Spike, for the teen audience I’d give it to Ratchet and Sly, for the adult I’d give it to Kratos, Nathan Drake and most of Persona, then for everyone it’s Astrobots)
I’m surprised you jumped from Crash Bandicoot straight to Sackboy and completely glossing over the PS2 Holy Trinity which was Ratchet & Clank, Jak & Daxter, and Sly Cooper. Out of those three, though, Ratchet & Clank is the only one to have “new” entries on almost every Sony Console. Kratos did as well. But with the sheer amount of games in the Ratchet and Clank series, I’d argue they probably have the biggest claim to being PlayStation’s mascot if they had to choose just one.
YOURE SO RIGHT! I should have! i just felt crash was more commercially pushed in early ps1 ads, i’ll definitely have to throw those guys their respect in a video soon tho🫡
The idea of having a mascot as the primary force or focus of a system is not quite as relative as it used to be. I think for the most part, most of the mascots are associated with the developer more than the system itself.
PlayStation? 😢
Go get get out get out you not baby

Kratos is another PlayStation Mascot

Jak, Ratchet and Sly were PlayStation mascots in the early 2000s

Astro Bot is my fav mascot so far

ohhh fuck you’re cooking
