>Sonic always been the mascot for every sega system
False.
Opa-opa and Alex Kidd where the Master System's mascots.
>Donkey Kong mascot for SNES
False. Mario was still presented as the definitive mascot for the Snes. Discarding Mario World (that came free with the system), Mario All-Stars still sold more than DKC.
>N64 Link as mascot
False.
All advertisement was done with Mario. Link may had the better game, but his image was still way bellow that of Mario.
>PS2 ratchet and clank as PS2 mascot
False.
PS2 had so many games being successful, with so many characters being used in advertisement, that not a single one can be called "the PS2 mascot". For comparison, Solid Snake and Kratos were characters much more associated with the PS2 than Ratchet and Clank.
>GameCube Leon S Kennedy as mascot
False.
Mario was still being used as the main mascot for the system, while Link was becoming more the face of the company. Leon in RE 4 was not even that known until the game was released on PS2.
>PS3 Nathan drake as mascot
False. Kratos was still being used as the main mascot for the western branches of Soyny.
>switch Luigi as mascot
Where? All advertisement is done with Mario, Link and Splatoon.
As for mascots themselves, they are just brands. They are used to deceive fools into thinking that the faceless and soulless companies have a friendly/cool/amusing face.
