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

Gran Turismo, Halo and Uncharted are as big or bigger than Zelda. But Sony and MS have nothing like Mario and Pokemon, every gamer and non gamer knows about them. They are cultural icons, Pokemon mainly due to the popularity of the anime and games and Mario by its first few games that at the time were revolutionary.

Sony and MS haven't been long enough in this industry to do that, they don't have that many people who played their games from childhood, and Sony keeps bringing new IP's over making games in the same IP for decades with only few exceptions, and their biggest IP has cars made by other companies.

I dunno if any of those IP will have the longevity of Zelda. 

Gran Turismo is pretty much declining massively. 

Zelda is 30 years old and still a big deal to a lot of people, not sure where Halo or Uncharted will be when they're even 20. 

I don't think Gran Turismo is declining. GT6 sold 5 million on PS3 even though it was released in its biggest market the same time as PS4 and a few weeks after Xbox One, when the PS4 had incredible hype. Its the best selling racing game released since 2013 after Mario Kart 8 despite it being released at the wrong time. If it were a PS4 game it would have sold better.

Halo has declined, but its still very big, and it could make a return if Halo 6 has the feature that all Halo games before 5 did, and comes to PC.

Uncharted has ended, but its been a huge franchise for the past few years, and Uncahretd 3 and Skyward Sword released in the same year, Skyward Sword on the bigger install base with less competition from other games, guess which one sold more.
