Banned site so yeah, not completely reliable :lolEdit: nvm
If we look at sales figures DKCR sold 4.2 million in a month. God of War 3s last known figure was around 1.5 million. Kirby's Epic Yarn figure was last at 1.4 million in 2 months. Before that Kirby's Super Star Ultra did about 2.4 million on the DS. Sales for Metroid are harder to come by but Metroid Prime 3 sold around 1 million in a month on the Wii and Metroid Prime 1 sold around 2 million on the Game Cube. Metroid Other M was extremely disappointing in sales for Nintendo compared with the Prime Series.
Really it doesn't matter for anyone but Sony if their characters have the same pull as Nintendo's. The only thing that matters is that the game is fun and provides fans of the Sony properties with ample fanservice.
I'm not saying Kratos is more popular but you're comparing a console that has almost 100 million units sold (even worse with the DS, being 150+ mil) with one that has 65 mil, IMO it doesn't seem very fair.
Edit: Also, Epic Yarn figures is for two months and a half while GOWIII is just one month (If I read correctly)
Edit 2: DK is worldwide sales while GOWIII is just for USA . Also, I think Epic Yarn's figure is worldwide too since it was released alongside DK, which was worldwide sales. (Edit 3: hmm seems you had another source for worldwide sales for GOW? since yours is larger than the article's, so just ignore this part then)
Well you get my point anyways
It's been 17 years since the PSX launched in America. Only 14 years passed between the NES launched in America and the release of SSB.Thats kind of the point. Most of Nintendo's big characters have decades worth of history and tens of millions of sales behind their backs. Sony IPs from the last decade just don't have that and making comparisons about popularity will never be fair. Most of Nintendo's characters have had their own children's cartoons, toys, ect. Its like comparing apples and oranges.
Why are we discussing this again? Yes, Nintendo's characters are more popular due to more sales and longer legacy, that's it. This subject have been beaten to death already.
After dwelling on the acronym for a while, can we please call this game "PBR" for short? I think it's a pretty reflective acronym and sounds cooler than PSABR.

There are a one or two "popular" nintendo characters that dont sell as much as some playstation characters.

Well it's probably better to use an acronym that's not currently used for a brand of beer.
I think Abe could be quite good as a 'silly' character. Only thing is I don't know if his association with Playstation is strong enough. When I think of Abe I think of my PS1.
Let's play some PBR while drinking some PBR.
I thought Microsoft owned some sort of rights to the Abe verse
The PSone Abe games hit the PSN a few years back and both Xbox games are coming to the Vita this year, so maybe the Microsoft deal is through?

Quick Question
Do third parties pay Sony to use their characters or the other way around for this game?
I'd imagine Sony would be the ones paying them but, I suppose a 3rd party wanting some publicity for a certain franchise could well pay Sony as well though.
Their talks with Microsoft fell through, they handled the HD ports very poorly. Not only did the put a cap on the file size but they seemed to be refusing to negotiate with the devs. Naturally they were pretty upset with this as they're only appearing on other platforms now, including the Vita as you mentioned. This is the same reason why Kingdom Under Fire II and Final Fantasy XIV are both only going PC/PS3, whenever they finish the damn games.

If you look at the sales figures Uncharted 1, 2 and 3 sold more than Zelda: Skyward Sword.
So Nathan is more popular than Link
Wait, what? Each Uncharted game sold than Skyward Sword? Or are you saying that all of the Uncharteds together sold more than it?
If it's the former, then wow.
Some Killzone, Uncharted and Resistance characters would be nice.

I really hope they put in Kat in the roster. I hope her supers include removing gravity in a stage.
Drake is pretty much guaranteed
i just found out about the supers only KO system.
What a way to ruin the game. Assures it will never be anything more than a party game.
But is Sully??
Alternate Drake DLC skin
Drake will be an alternate skin for Sully.
But is Sully??
i think it make it less of a party game(dunno if good thing or Bad)
cuz you cant just mash buttons and get random points, you gotta know your char's attacks and how best to gain meter to even begin to reach your goal.
its all gonna depend on how much can you really control the chaos IMO
Capcom should give Sony a Megaman character
...maybe Zero
Radec is in and Drake is a no brainer. Don't know if they'll make a playable Chimera though (no way Hale or any other character from the Resistance series will be playable). A Resistance stage with Chimeras in the background would suffice imo.
Kat have potential to be a pretty interesting fighter with her gravity manipulating. Wouldn't mind her being in but she probably won't be in the main roster, maybe?added later on as DLC

Im surprised no one has mentioned that theyre using resistance weapons during the fight, such as the shield and spike grenade (no idea its real name)Radec is in and Drake is a no brainer.
