Hey everyone knows Mario, if i name a few Sony characters to an average gamer/person, they would be like what? Lol
Unless you have statistics or evidence to back that up, quiet your ass down
Ah, so you've read the first few words and not the whole thing. Sony has "memorable" characters, of course, but none are on par with a single Nintendo classic character.
The fact stands, yes. Characters from exclusive titles released on Sony's platform are not as well known as characters from exclusive titles on Nintendo's platform.
That's considering if you pit say Mario against Sackboy. Then again, the first Mario game was released about 2 decades or more ago. (don't quote me on this) The first LBP game came out less than 5 years ago. When you consider this, your comparison is no longer fair if one character had a longer duration of publicity than the other. For instance, my dad recognises Mario, because he played Mario games growing up. He longer games, so he wouldn't recognise the more recent characters like Sackboy, Sev or Nathan Drake.
Hell, Sony itself doesn't even have a memorable mascot to the average gamer. Everyone, from every age group who has played any genre knows who Mario, Link, Samus (Metroid), Zelda etc etc are. Sony does not have a single character who encompasses that -- at all. I don't even know how my post was originally viewed to you as an opinion when it was clearly a defined statement and pretty bloody obvious.
It's true, and it's quite unfortunate. Nintendo has Mario as it's primary mascot. Sega had Sonic, but Sony doesn't really and truly have a mascot to call their own to milk. Sure, a couple of times Sackboy or Nathan Drake had the spotlight, but not for long.
I could be wrong though.

Actually, what's obvious is that this game is intended to be released on a Sony platform, thus targeting Sony gamers who are familiar with Sony characters. So who cares if the rest of the planet don't know the characters? Who cares if the characters aren't as well known as those from Nintendo?
Seriously, why do you guys even give a rats ass?
As long as the game is good and I enjoy it, as a PS3 owner, I don't see why I shouldn't buy it
