Actually I feel that Sony doesn't have a particular character that can considered an exclusive icon. But that is what impresses me about Sony to begin with, since they're able to successfully maintain a video game system market WITHOUT very few first-party software. Not many systems do that these days. They proved to me that a modern system can is capable of relying on purely third-party support, thus you don't have to be a good game producer to make a good system. Just a good businessman who knows to keep good relations with both consumers and third-party software developers.
I know Sony own several companies that make games, including Polyphony (makers of Gran Turismo) and Contrail (makers of Legend of Legaia), and that they do have a department that do occasionally produce games (with Wild Arms series of games being some of them). But for the most part, Sony does rely very heavily and successfully on third-party support.
