Who do you think the Xbox trademark character is? Or is the Xbox lacking one?

We all know that the GC has Mario and Playstation has Lara Croft. The Xbox has some 'sort-of' trademark characters, such as Master Chief, Sam Fisher and Blinx.

So, opinions please.

The Xbox has no trademark. Master Chief is well scripted and portrayed in Halo, but generally people can't relate him to the console because he's just your generic soldier. His appearance also stops him being distinguished as a flagship mascot - he's just got a futuristic green combat suit. Blinx was rubbish, and Sam Fisher is multiformat.

But really, does the Xbox need a trademark character?

Does the PS2 have a trademark character?

Lara Croft is sooooo PS1.

Anyways, Trademark Characters just tie a system down, and is what has hassled Nintendo...
