But that is a totally different question, we are not even talking about the quality of the games. When someone aswers "no" to his question he is not automatically saying that Nintendo ips are better or anything like that, if something they say those ips are more able to be liked for a much larger population, if they are better or not is another question, if the question was "Are MS and Sony capable of making a video game experience as great as what Nintendo does with its consoles?" Then I may agree with you, but is not.

But the question doesn't at all state that this has anything to do with Sony or MS's current IPs. It's literally asking if they are capable of producing anything that garners the success of Pokemon Go. That's it. I'm not reading any more into it than what it's stating, you're the one that's softening the question, and making it sound less ridiculous by including current IPs.
No one realistically thought a company like Mojang was capable of creating a cultural phenomenon like Minecraft until they did.
No one realistically thought a company like Rovio was capable of creating a cultural phenomenon like Angry Birds until they did.
No one realistically thought a company like the guy who created Flappy Bird was capable of creating a cultural phenomenon like Flappy Bid until they did.
Any company with any new IP released at any time *could be* the next "culural phenomenon" and you have no idea until it's announced. MS could announce a mobile game the next E3 that makes Pokemon Go look like child's play in terms of mass appeal, financial success and install base. What then? What did MS between now and 10 months in the future that made them capable of doing something the people who say they aren't capable of doing today? Does the purchasing of Mojang mean that MS actually now is capable of creating a "cultural phenomenon"?
Again, the question is completely non-sensical and requires a very skewed point of view that elevates Nintendo above everyone else to even ask that.

Um, yes it does. It clearly states in the OP: Can Sony or Microsoft ever get this kind of frenzy over any of their IPs?
