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.

Unless Sony and Microsoft officially say that these games are coming to an end (as in discontinued), they will always have longevity on their side. Longevity and populatiry are two different arguements and you are trying to blend them to discredit those games. If Sony and Microsoft hold on and protect those IP (19 years for GT and 16 yeras for Halo) they will be around.
