Console Mascots

Back then, we all remember how big mascots were to sell a console. Why do you guys think video game console mascots today are considered irrelevant? Do you see a resurgence of the genre depending on the audience?

Noticeably for example, Crash Bandicoot used to be the unofficial mascot of Playstation. Why do you suppose Sony couldn't keep him as the face of Playstation?

Edit: I already knew that Sony never owned Crash but why couldn't they buy him out?
