Let's not forget the bros that started it all:
Sweet Tooth/Needles Kane
Crash Bandicoot
Kratos is fair game, but you can't top the originals
Tommo - 9 years ago
You have to examine a few elements when pointing out who's 'iconic'. You have to consider who made the biggest cultural impact, who was the most successful and who is easiest to recognise.
Spyro is certainly easy to recognise with this bright colours and signature silhouette, but his games weren't as popular as the rather less distinguishable Snake.
I don't think you could even consider characters like 'Cole Phelps' and 'Joel'. Boring fuckers.

Without any doubt "Solid Snake"...

Crash Bandicoot obviously, he was like the Playstation Mascot back in the 90's.
Yuuki - 9 years ago
Metal Gear !!
Dean - 9 years ago
So Gitaroo Man doesn't even get a spot, while loads of non Exclusive characters do, that makes sense, the best thing about PS though is its vast cataloger of games and fact it doenst have to rely on an icon for its brand image, the PlayStation brand itself is it's own icon.
Nuno Ribeiro - 9 years ago
NOT IN ORDER!!
1 - Big Boss (metal gear solid)
2 - Solid Snake (metal gear solid)
3 - Heihachi Mishima (tekken)
4 - Carl Johnson (gta: san andreas)
5 - Liquid Snake (metal gear solid)
I wanted to put Yoshimitsu, Crash Bandicoot and much more, but i could only choose 5, so i chose my 5 favourite icons (not the best, my personal favourite)
Characters such as Nathan Drake (uncharted), Ezio Auditore (assassin's creed), etc. doesn't make sense, because they only appeared on PS3, and this is supposed to be "greatest icons ever"
jesus camarillo - 9 years ago
METAL GEAR SOLID IS THE BEST VIDEO GAME EVER MADE AND SOLID SNAKE, BIGBOSS ARE the greatest PlayStation icon of all time

Mike Green - 9 years ago
First and foremost Sephiroth from Final FantasyVII followed up by Solid Snake from Metal Gear solid with either Dante from Devil May Cry or Albert Wesker from Resident Evil comin in,neck and neck,for third place. Cloud Striff-FFVII,Cyborg Ninja-metal gear solid,Chris Redfield-resident evil,Gabriel Belmont-castlevania lord of shadows,Heihachi Mishima-tekken,Kratos-god of war,Pyramid Head-silent hill 2,Raiden-metal gear solid 2 sons of liberty as the top 8 runner-ups..just my opinion as a former PS-UNDERGROUND tester lmao

No Sly Cooper love makes me sad. Sly is one of Sony's best mascots and deserves to be up there with Rachet, Jak, Kratos, and Lara.
Being a fan of MGS for over 20 years, I'm going to have to go with Solid Snake.
Matthew - 9 years ago
No third parties please.
Marvin - 9 years ago
Tough crowd but I had to choose Kratos, Lara Croft, and Nathan Drake. God of War, Tomb Raider, and Uncharted have been some of the greatest gaming franchises ever. They kept me on the Playstation and away from other consoles.

Went for Solid Snake, choice was hard though... my top 5:
1.Snake,
2.Crash Bandicoot,
3.Spyro the Dragon,
4.Nathan Drake,
5.Sackboy
It's the history of PlayStation, which dates back to 95. Putting Cole or Drake shouldn't really be considered. Third party games also. I voted Crash. Snake would be an option too from the original MGS.
Darklurkr23 - 9 years ago
Cole, Kratos, and Drake
NON-EXCLUSIVE CHARACTERS ARE NOT VALID PEOPLE

Its just not fair that Crash hasnt been around for something new on consoles for 6 Years so far! He's always going to be very populer and i loved him so much ever since i first played PlayStation back in 1998.
SONY Really.......Really.......Really need to consider of buying Crash IP from Activision since they only care for Call of Duty & Skylanders the way they done to Spyro now that i hate cause of they are best selling franchises they have, and theres even been word if Activision doesnt do anything with Crash by 2021 they'll lose the IP..... and 90% of fans already doesnt trust them doing next game.
Not to mention its because of Activision that Sony couldnt get Crash or Spyro into PlayStation All-Stars which woulve made the game sell Times more than its current sales :(
Back at July the release date of New N Tasty, it felt the best time of all 2014!!! because of how good it is to see Abe back and released first on PlayStation brand on Console 4 :D
PaRappa the Rapper is also 1 of my other childhood PSone Characters that is infact because of him that got me into PlayStation All-Stars since its announcement and i'm really rubbish on Fighting games, but having characters I grew up with such as PaRappa, it made me fell in love with the game now :) and now have been chocking on need of Knowing when PaRappa 3 is coming since he never got new game after Number 2 on PS2.
Matt - 9 years ago
wanted to vote Nathan Drake but I had to vote for Crash Bandicoot. Naughtydog seriously needs to bring him back.
Kazz - 9 years ago
Anyone who did not vote for Crash, Spyro or Rayman is probably underaged
Mike Blanco - 9 years ago
If Kratos wasn't your #1 then you're not a true PlayStation fan. Numbers 2 $ 3 for me, Crash and Jak. Theses are the games that BUILT PlayStation!
Mark Stoll - 9 years ago
Going strictly with characters who are (or originally were) PS exclusive characters, I went with the following:
1. Sora
2. Solid Snake
3. Cole MacGrath
Wanted to vote Batman. But Solid Snake is the shit.
Bart Millow - 9 years ago
Scorpion and Sub zero
Kristopher Byrd - 9 years ago
It came down to Three choices for me. 1. Batman. All those games for PS3 did VERY well, especially Arkham City. If you haven't had the chance to experience any of these games, you are robbing yourself from a bat cave full of joy and bad-ass brutal beat downs. 2. Kratos, I don't really feel I should have to explain this one. He is PlayStation. In fact he is soo PlayStation, that when Netherrealm studios made him a playable character in Mortal Kombat, he was only available via PlayStation, giving the ole Xbox the big (well deserved) F*** You! Leading us to number 3. Scorpion, who has always been my favorite Ninja besides Rikimaru of Tenchu who sadly died with the PS2. People who weren't even familiar with Mortal Kombat or fighting games were ALL playing this game after this Re-launch was released! Has anyone noticed all the Sub Zero and Scorpion rip-off costumes in major stores around Halloween? With names like "Ice Ninja" or "Fire Zombie Ninja?" Those two and their battle are becoming as iconic as Luke and Vader, or Batman and Joker! I really wanted to include Sack boy as well, but I feel like our beloved system is more for the big boys and not so much for kids as much anymore, plus PlayStation kind of pushed him on us. I mean LittleBigPlanet wasn't THAT great of a game, but it sure does keep my 3 yr old quite entertained!
Chris H - 9 years ago
Couldn't decide between Crash, Cloud, Kratos, Nathan Drake, and Sephiroth. So many good icons. Just a shame most of them only lasted a generation or two so far.
Nemesis was a monster who gave me many hours of fear. although dante and scorpion have their merits. All tremble to hear that voice saying S.T.A.R.S
Malek - 9 years ago
Scorpion and Sub-Zero - Mortal Kombat
Sabbir Hoque - 9 years ago
It's Kratos of course. Kratos represents PlayStation only whereas other characters come in other platforms as well. For them, there is nothing iconic about PlayStation. They don't represent any particular platform but Kratos DOES.
im not here to start flames or anything, just an opinion, but if this is a vote on iconic sony characters, then shouldn't it be Sony Exclusive characters?
1. Crash Bandicoot for the win
2. Naked Snake, the big boss... the original and best snake.
3. The Shirai Ryu infernal assasin, Scorpion of Mortal Kombat.
Spyro the Dragon from the original trilogy, no contest.
I think of
1st Scorpion
2nd Princess Mileena
3rd Lui Kang
1.Scorpion
2.Shao Kahn
3.Deadpool
Yoshimitsu, scorpion, sub zero and Nightmare
Sub-Zero *-*
scorpion
Batman arkham knight.
1. Cloud - final fantasy
2. Spyro - spyro the dragon
3. Crash - crash bandicoot
4.Scott Shelby - heavy rain
5. Silent hill - Silent hill
Kratossss!!!
1.Abe - Oddworld New'N'Tasty
2.Pyramid Head - Silent Hill
3.James Sunderland - Silent Hill 2

Definitely vote first by Solid Snake, then by Aerith, followed by Claire Redfield, and culminating with Nathan Drake.
What?? " James Sullivan-Silent Hill 2" ??! O__O Please James SUNDERLAND,not Sullivan..
1-James SUNDERLAND – Silent Hill 2

Voted Jill valentine. Would've been solid snake but when I think of metal gear it's not snake as a character its David Hayter
And... Daniel Forteske?
Kazuma kiryu anyone? He's kinda awesome yknow.
Anyone who didn't vote Crash Bandicoot, Rayman, and Spyro the Dragon is wrong
My vote:
Captain Price
Batman :D
1. Jin Kazama - Tekken
2. Scorpion - Mortal Kombat
3. Ryu - Street Fighter
1. Nathan Drake (Uncharted)
2. Crash Bandicoot
3. Big Boss (Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater)
Ellie & Joel - The Last of Us. Best game I've ever played... everything about this game made me fall in love with gaming again!
SCORPION....GET OVER HERE!
How can a third party game character be a Playstation icon??
PS icons: Samanosuke Akechi, Ico, Kratos, Nariko, Nathan Drake, Joel, Ellie. Look no further.
Wanted to vote Batman. But Solid Snake is the shit.
