Which character pops in your mind when you hear the word " PLAYSTATION" ?

Sony don't have a strong Mario/Sonic type of mascot linked to their console. Their attempts to develop one have been terrible. Crash, Spyro, Toro, etc. are no where near as iconic as Mario or Sonic.
I didnt say who is your favorite mascot though,just say who comes your mind when you say playstation it could be Cloud from ff7 or dante from dmc

Heiachi.

Yes, I know it's a multiplatform series now (Tekken) but it was a flagship for PS1/2.
 
Kratos, have no idea why from all characters, I love Crash as well and had beaten the main games, the same for Uncharted, but Kratos somehow sticks with me as the system's icon.
 
None, despite the PS1 being the first console we owned I hold no nostalgia towards the system or associate a character to the Playstation branding.
 
This is probably related to the first sony console you own. Since I didn't have ps1 at the time and joined the sony boat with ps2, I will also say Kratos. If I wouldn't have ps2 at the time, it would have been Nate Drake.
 
Drake.

I never associated Crash / Spyro and the like with PS back in the day as I had no idea about consoles and exclusives etc. Didn't even know what an N64 was.
 

The actual covers, not the characters. I spent hours and hours on these 2 games. They were the first games I got with my playstation and while I resell the majority of my games, I still have both of these safe in a box.
 
None, to be honest.

I hope I can change my answer to Kat in a few months, she'd be the perfect face for Playstation if Sony invested in the franchise.

If real people count, I do think of Shuhei Yoshida, haha.
