Hmm. Neither of them would excel here. Insurance and Veggies aren't similar to video games at all, and neither mascot is particularly well-regarded as far as I know. The Green Giant has better recognition, but Erin would probably be a better fit for this challenge. Games are famously... thirsty

I like Erin here. 

The whole secret-agent with action and adventure shtick would work very favorably in console commercials.  Especially first-person shooters.

If they make an Erin Esurance game, I'd rather play that then a game about a guy who runs around talking about vegetables. As it stands, Erin could be turned into some Lara Croft/Nathan Drake esque explorer with climbing minigames and the like.

Hah, another two profiles I added way back when.  

I think Erin might have the sales-pitching edge here, too.

[SSJRuss]

I can see a world where both of these characters would have some pretty good games. They would need to really dive into the Jolly Green Giant lore and create some interesting material. As it stands though, Erin has the advantage. 

[Marvel Man]

What lore does the giant have? I guess a blank canvas can have its benefits  but I think you are more likely to sell games with a female secret agent. Wasn't Tomb Raider an iconic game before it was a movie? I'm giving the edge to Erin on this one. The giant is already penalized by association to vegetables, which have famously failed to win kids over for centuries.
