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

I'm not going to say no because all things are possible, maybe not now but it's a matter of timing and marketing.

Pokemon's been out for 20yrs now and Pokemon Go was only possible by the growth in technology in the pass 2 decades to create a smart phone and data etc...

My bet, something like Microsoft's Hololens using AR and Konami's Yugioh can beat Pokemon Go. Just image seeing people dualing at parks and such, to me that's something more incredible than Pokemon Go.

It may not happen soon, but when the time is right, just like how the time is right for Pokemon Go after 20yrs. Who knows what the future technology can hold for something else down the line.

no offense dude but Yugioh is not on anywhere near the scale of Pokemon. the Pokemon Company alone is a 1 billion dollar company just based on... Pokemon. Yugioh is dead besides the card game and even that is unlikely to be more popular than even the Pokemon card game at this point

I know Yugioh hasn't been sucessful the last few years.  But there still are dedicated players and still sell cards.  If the game isn't officially dead then there's still a chance to revive, just need the right time and marketing.  

So what if Pokemon is a billion dollar company?  That's a company that's 20yrs in the making.  Angry Birds came out more recently, a completely new game, and exploded the mobile gaming industry and they didn't start off as a billion dollar company.  A billion dollar company doesn't mean a thing as long as you have the right idea.  Like I said, anything is possible, you're just looking at the present time rather than thinking about possible futures.
