The Truth About Marvel's Wolverine (And Why Sony Is Failing)

Sony is on a historic drop-the-ball run, and this week made it worse. Marvel's Wolverine reviews landed way below what anyone expected from Insomniac (it's sitting at a 77 on Metacritic), PlayStation dropped Hideo Kojima's Physint and Xbox picked it up within minutes, a fan-made Last of Us Part II Factions mod got shut down by a letter from Sony, Horizon: Hunters Gathering is being gutted, and Sony's CFO says the physical disc backlash is having zero effect on the business. Let's talk about it. Do you care that PlayStation is going all-digital? Let me know in the comments. New channel. If you want gaming news without the fluff every week, subscribe.
