Anyone think he's done like Marcus the PSP mascot? If he is, it was nice knowing you KB you brought credibility to Sony's marketing, something someone hasn't done since that guy who dressed up in that Crash Bandicoot costume and drunkenley harrased Nintendo's office.

Yeah I was wondering why he didn't appear the whole Sony PC seemed just slightly off this year, like they had a new director haha 

hope they're done with him. he was funny but it couldn't last forever.

Don't tell the same joke to the same guys twice.

I didn't even notice that until I saw this.
 
I guess I don't care that he's gone then.

They did the right thing. They brought him in last year because it was sort of unexpected but thats done 
 
Hopefully they freshen up their marketing campaign now 

Wait no more Marcus? I was looking foreword to "Vita, it's the business!"

He was still pretty relevant at last year's e3. But it has dropped off and dropped off. I think the last funny ad he did was for Gran Turismo 5.

They missed an opportunity to throw him under the bus for the PSN fiasco and make a show out of "firing" him. I appreciate that Trenton wanted to talk about the issue in a serious fashion, but Sony's press conference could've certainly used a little more humor or something instead of Mix Master fucking Mike.

He was the only thing missing from the press conference. Then again I haven't seen him since last year really. I wish he'd come back cause those where the best commercials on tv. 

The little joke in the beginning was fine enough, having the mascot come out to drop some one liners about beating up hackers, while awesome from my perspective, probably would have gone over the line with a lot of people. I guess they have quietly retired him.

Kevin Butler died in a drive by in LA.

he was on his last legs as a concept even last year  
and this conference was much more low-key as a whole (in the presentation) as well .. no time for novelties or ice-cream trucks

Yeah he should remain in the TV ads since I thought last year he went on a bit long and his bit was getting tired. All he did last E3 was rip into MS about kinect which has since turned out to be a bigger success than Move, so what could he really talk about? Certainly not the PSN outage, thats way to serious to make jokes about. He's good in short bursts like in the ads. I hope Marcus died along with the PSP and PSP Go.

racist

They didn't bring him out because the character isn't funny anymore.

I think Kevin Butler is still really funny. His commercials are great. I can see not trotting him out though. They had other stuff to discuss.  

David Jaffe should be the new Playstation Mascot.

Thank god they're done with Marcus.

I was somewhat disappointed. Kevin Butler even sent me a message on Twitter. :(

Thank god they're done with Marcus.
