Lol. Just by reading the title I knew this was made by a Nintendo fan. Because you have to think Nintendo is head and shoulders above MS and Sony as a company that is capable of making hit video games, or creating games, game series or game characters that have the same impact that Nintendo characters have. Which is of course, total horseshit.

How about this poll: Are Sony and MS capable of making a home console that sells as poorly as the Wii U?

Quit with the flame bait.

Soooooo, make an example instead of beeing so salty  if you are confident in what you say (?) The only comment I've seen so far that feels lit is yours...

An example? An IP that Sony or MS ever creates could catch on like this depending on how its used, the games its put in, how it catches on etc. There are so many variables (some of which involve luck) it's not even funny. Explain why Flappy Bird caught on. Explain why Angry Birds caught on over the games it copied. Sometimes its literally a matter of being in the right place at the right time.

You're essentially asking me how to make any IP a pop culture phenomenon. Well if there was a step-by-step guide then everyone would be doing it, wouldn't they? Then again, I don't pretend to be some kind of marketing genius. But what I do know is this: Sony and MS are more than capable of putting the right people in the right place to create a smash hit of an IP. Being that there's so many variables involved how can anyone possibly say they can't?

Will Sony or MS ever releases a game on mobile that catches on like Pokemon Go? I have no idea. Are the capable of doing so? 100%, and anyone who says otherwise is seeing the world through a very Nintendo-favored perspective.
