Task: Wrong Candidate Generation
Input (English): Context: If there 's one thing Sony 's lacked since it started the PlayStation brand , it was a viable mascot . Back in the day , it looked like Crash Bandicoot would have the honor , or maybe Lara Croft , but no character ever felt truly representative of Sony 's hardware in the same way that Mario did with Nintendo , Sonic did with Sega and even Master Chief does with Microsoft . However , maybe with LittleBigPlanet and Sackboy , Sony has found its ambassador . 
Question: Why does Sony need a mascot ? 
Correct Answer: None of the above choices .
Output (English): Because they could n't use Mario.
