Pac-Man has hardly been relevant since 1982. He's a gaming icon, sure. But he's a gaming icon as the little circle with a mouth, not the thing with arms, legs and ears we have today.
Also, Tails has never really been a Sonic clone. Sure, he runs along side him and does the same thing, but he's always been different. He's slower, he can fly, he can swim and they developed him further into his own character in all the 3D Sonic outings. Aside from Eggman, Tails is the next biggest Sonic character, he's easily recognizable and a bigger Sega icon than any other possible choice.
