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

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.

Ditto, maybe these posters are too young to remember the Sony Walkman or they happen to be the ~5% of people who don't use a Microsoft operating system.

Or they are reading it in the context of the forum and OP and only looking at the current gaming IPs of both companies.
