As PlayStation Pushes Ahead With Its Plan to Kill Physical Media, 35% of Marvel's Wolverine Sales Were on Disc

Ampere Analysis said 35% of sales were discs, while other PlayStation titles also posted strong physical shares as Sony shifts toward digital releases.

  • Ampere Analysis reports that roughly 35% of Marvel's Wolverine sales were physical discs, accounting for roughly 756,000 of the 2.16 million units sold since its September 15 launch.
  • Sony faces consumer backlash over its announcement to phase out physical disc production for PlayStation games by 2028, sparking criticism from fans of physical media.
  • In Europe, 51% of sales for the exclusive came from boxed versions, while Silent Hill: Townfall reached 45% physical sales, demonstrating physical media's continued strength.
  • Former PlayStation boss Shawn Layden questioned the shift, noting that the 20% of users who purchase physical games represent the "most faithful of the faithful" who preserve the medium.
  • As Sony continues arguing in court that players only license digital games, analysts suggest a clear business case for physical media remains despite the industry's push toward digital-only platforms.
