Are Sony or MS capable of creating a cultural phenomenon like Pokemon Go?

No, and tbh thats probably a good thing.

Agreed. Don't want them shifting to mobile, something Nintendo may do if the NX tanks.  And while Sony may not be doing it with SW, they are constantly doing it with HW.  You had the Walkman back in the day, a huge phenomenon, and more recently the PS brand, which has become synonymous with gaming in a lot of countries.

This is a pretty good comparison, the walkman surely was a cultural phenomenom like Pokemon Go is today. Even today a movie like Guardians of the Galaxy features the walkman.
