class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" data-block-type=\"core\">While Sony has yet to release official sales figures, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ampereanalysis.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ampere Analysis<\/a> estimates that <strong>Marvel&#8217;s Wolverine has sold 2.16 million copies<\/strong> across physical and digital formats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" data-block-type=\"core\">The game also reportedly achieved <a href=\"https:\/\/overhypedgamer.com\/hr\/kategorija\/playstation\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"PlayStation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PlayStation<\/a>&#8217;s biggest physical launch of 2026 in the UK, although Resident Evil Requiem and 007 First Light recorded stronger boxed launches overall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" data-block-type=\"core\">Other major releases have also demonstrated demand for physical editions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\" data-block-type=\"core\">\n<li data-block-type=\"core\"><strong>Silent Hill: Townfall:<\/strong> 45% physical sales.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li data-block-type=\"core\"><strong>The Blood of

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" data-block-type=\"core\">These figures highlight how physical games continue to attract buyers, particularly among collectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" data-block-type=\"core\">The report comes amid claims that <a href=\"https:\/\/overhypedgamer.com\/hr\/end-of-production-of-physical-game-discs-sony-playstation\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"4948\">Sony intends to stop producing physical <\/a>PlayStation games beginning in <strong>January 2028<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" data-block-type=\"core\">Industry analyst Joost van Dreunen also emphasized the importance of collecting, suggesting that physical ownership remains a meaningful part of the gaming market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" data-block-type=\"core\">For now, the figures are based on third-party market data rather than Sony&#8217;s official sales announcements,
