Nathan Drake is certainly hotter (I’d do them pixels). lol. But I’m a big MGS fan, and plus Solid Snake is an experienced special ops soldier and mercenary who has a cause. Nathan is a treasure hunter with only basic combat skills. They’re both good characters in good franchises.. but..

Gotta go with Snake!

snake/old snake is an experienced fighter. His character is very deep. He has fought many machines and villains along the way.
nathan drake is a young, modern hero who would probably vote for Snake. he’s just a normal funny guy. who can take out copters, tanks, snipers, grenade launchers, and lunatics.
so OLD SNAKE is the honor and respect of the ps3, whereas Drake is the ongoing hero.

It does not get more epic than Solid Snake.

I don’t wanna bash on Nathan Drake, Kratos or Crash Bandicoot for that matter, wait… Scratch Dat’, Crash Bandicoot hands down.

Ps. WTF is with these threads, its like their trying to make us fight… wait a minute!

Crash Bandicoot was a great series and mascot born for the PlayStation. All four games were brilliant, its just a shame it was let go and milked by a bunch of companies. Same goes for Spyro, the ones made for PS were brilliant but after that was let go too the rest sucked.

Crash Bandicoot was definetly the original and arguably best Playstation mascot but as the series is no longer exclusive it wouldn’t make sense for him to be the face of the PS3.

I think the Playstation should reinvent Crash Bandicoot as their symbol.

Since it helped Playstation 1 out alot. Lol… “Random Thought”

Someone is going to rage at this post. I applaud you.

Nathan Drake has already surpassed Solid Snake……….get over it.

Although as far as i’m concerned Jak & Daxter will always be Sony’s main mascots.

Still……whoever you like, just be gald your mascots aren’t a bunch of homo – erotic space marines who like to chop aliens in half with a chain saw before making out on top of the pile of guts on the floor like the 360 fanboys drool over…………..

If I liked smug moustached aging heroes that much I’d have bought a Wii.

As Japanese developers have westernised their games, they have lost some of the quirky identity that attracted people to them in the first place. It was a shame to let Crash Bandicoot slide in to obscurity – there was proper platforming in those games, not the pseduo-platforming sci-fi shooter of Ratchet and Clank.

It’s not so much Nathan Drake that deserves to be regarded as the mascot of the PS3 as just the Uncharted series itself.

‘and guess what Microsoft can’t play around this time and we will never see one of Naughty Dog’s producers introduced in the E3 2010! ‘

I hope that you realise that that this part makes no sense.

Sackboy is the PS3 “symbol” (I think you wanted to write “mascot”).
I think Sony used it as a semi-parody of their fans: It represents all the feeble minded PS3 fanboys who will change opinions (or costumes) all the time based on how exclusive a game is to the PS brand.

Kratos, if done nicely, would be a nice symbol for PS3, why? Kratos is a beast, just like the PS3 is a mean piece of hardware, Kratos is a beast killing. Kratos and PS3 have a lot in common.
