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

all made by nobody developers at the time.  clearly anyone can make a very successful mobile game.  sony or ms could do it just as well as anyone else if they were putting effort there.  hell,.. halo, minecraft, uncharted, god of war, warcraft, grand theft auto, ect. are already reconized franchises by non-gamers.  you're fooling yourself if you think nintendo is special.

You do realize this is asking about already established IP right?  Nobody said anything about a new IP.

 

"Can Sony or Microsoft ever get this kind of frenzy over any of their IPs?"

Well you could argue that those franchises are pretty established by now...
