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

I think you are confused here.....Because GTA V has sold more than Pokemon this gen it doesn't make it BIGGER than Pokemon....Pokemon goes FAR beyond video game sales and I think that is where you are missing the mark.  When you have the games, shows, movies, toys, clothing etc WORLDWIDE GTA is not even CLOSE to Pokemon hence the reason Pokemon is a CULTURAL PHENOMENON while GTA is just popular.

GTA is a cultural phenmenon in how it changed the way people look at games, gamers and non gamers alike. Its popular among both groups, and it hasn't just outsold Pokemon since this gen, but since sixth gen. Its become even bigger this gen but it was more popular than Pokemon games since GTA 3.

Pokemon is a very popular anime series but overall it is comparable to what GTA is in gaming.

You know what I can agree with this. GTA is that for gaming. It just isn't as big as Pokemon is. Which is fine, it takes nothing away from GTA saying it is not big as Pokemon is after all.

GTA is a cultural phenomenon also. A whole genre of games are based off of it. 

I agree with this when out in this aspect. But just don't feel that GTA is as big as Pokemon worldwide and beyond gaming.
