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

Don't you think you're being a little unreasonable with this one? He's merely asking a fair question, basing such an idea on the current situation.

Don't you think that a moderator, someone who is supposed to be fair and balanced, can't take a step back and take an objective point of view to realize that it totally isn't a fair question in any way?

This is utterly ridiculous.

If I made a thead that said "Poll: Are MS and Nintendo capable of making a video game experience as great as what Sony does with Playstation" I'd get absolutely thrashed for it and accused of being a fanboy. But Nintendo and it's fans get an exemption because apparently Nintendo is special.

The op did pose a fair question even if it wasn't worded that well and if we're talking just about mobile games. Neither Sony and Microsoft make any mobile games that I know of. Their IPs at present wouldn't really transition that well into a mobile game. They were never created for that. Pokemon is an IP that does work well with mobile but it was already a cultural phenomenon well before pokemon go. 

Both Sony and Microsoft completely capable of making a IP that's suited for mobile and did well if they wanted to.
