nintendo has a lot of mascots for their consoles with a whole clan of them. The most well known is mario but still there are luigi, wario,DK, link and many more which I think is a good thing. Nintendo are now known for their character and know that they will be in some sweet games on the new console.
Sega have good the good old blue hedgehog who is celebrating his tenth birthday in a few weeks and was always the action hero. HE has some cool pals like Tails, knuckles and the very sexy Amy. WIth some cool lines and smooth moves he is definitely one of the toughest chracters around.
Sony has the one the only lara croft? or is it spyro? or solid snake? WEll sony do not seem to have one main mascot as lara has been seen on other consoles too, so who knows what theirs is at present.
Then we move onto microsoft or the Xbox. As of yet there do not seem to be any major character developments for the very net gen consoles and I don't have a clue who it will be as of yet. Heck, it could be bowl boy, the virtual Bill gates.....
The important thing is that most consoles have a team or just one main charcater(s) on their side especially for that company. We will usually see all of the charcewtrs in seperate games saving the world or the whole posse in one game which is always a blast.ALthough they could do a bit more with their charcters.....
What if there was a major character console war which appeared on all formats? I can only dream....
anyway mascots make the consoles great....

I think that Sony's mascot could be Rayman because it is an original game first made by Sony!
And for Nintendo what about Pikachu!
The XBOX's will probably be someone from Abe's oddessy!
Or it should be, anyway.
> yeh but he wasn't a massive hit.
He was pretty big!
