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

And people buy hanhelds for Pokemon games

And wow that cherry picking. Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are remakes, the new gen Pokemon games on 3DS have sold more

No what you said is cherry picking.

I knew you would bring that up, but GTA V on PS4 was a year old port of the game with less changes to the original than Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby which were full remakes.

Its not a new gen GTA game and a late port but has sold close to a new gen Pokemon game.

I'm just going to end this here because I don't want to derail the thread any further since it's about Sony/Microsoft first party, but GTA V was still only 1 year old when it came out on PS4, and it also had the benefit of coming out one year before Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. And yes, Pokemon X and Y also came out one year before GTA V on PS4, but they didn't release for the holiday, and it had Zelda one month later that did release for the holiday.
