《Marvel's Wolverine》登顶美国9月新游销量榜，创索尼自Helldivers 2以来首发营收纪录
Despite its mixed reception, Marvel's Wolverine was September's top-selling new game in the US, making Sony launch revenues it hasn't seen since Helldivers 2
《Marvel's Wolverine》成为美国9月最畅销新游戏，并创下索尼自Helldivers 2以来最高首发月美元销售额。该作售价70美元且仅登陆PS5，对比2024年2月发售、跨PC与PS5且售40美元的Helldivers 2，仍凭高价达成相似营收。PS5同期美元销售额同比增长43%，Xbox与Switch 2硬件销量分别下滑27%和14%。
本文引Circana数据对比Wolverine与Helldivers 2的售价和平台差异，显示高价PS5独占仍刷新索尼首发营收纪录。
Claws and effect.
Marvel's Wolverine may not have had the best critical reception, but that clearly didn't discourage consumers. The action-adventure from Marvel's Spider-Man studio Insomniac has topped US video game sales in September, despite releasing exactly halfway through the month.
That's according to market analysis firm Circana, which noted Wolverine's success includes digital sales and those made at retail. It was such a hit that, as Circana analyst Mat Piscatella wrote, the game delivered "the highest launch month dollar sales" a Sony-published game has seen since Helldivers 2, which released in February 2024. It is worth noting, however, that Helldivers 2 launched on PC alongside PlayStation 5, while Wolverine is a PS5 exclusive. Additionally, Helldivers 2 had a much lower price of $40 compared to Wolverine's $70, meaning the former sold more copies to arrive at a similar point.
Wolverine seemingly helped boost PS5 sales, too, as the console saw a massive 43 percent uptick in dollar sales compared to the same period last year, though some of that is owed to its higher price now compared to then. In fact, PS5 led the month in both unit sales (up 22 percent from last year) and dollar sales across consoles. Switch 2 unit sales fell by 14 percent and Xbox by 27 percent - according to Circana, that means Xbox unit sales dropped to their lowest ever in a September, claiming the record from September 2025.
September, of course, was one of the busiest months for games this year, and that was reflected in the top-ten, which saw eight new releases - including The Blood of Dawnwalker, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve, Switch 2-exclusive Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave, and PC-exclusive Wardogs. Also among those was NBA 2K27, which, despite failing to claim the top spot in September, surprisingly managed to dethrone Resident Evil Requiem to become the best-selling game this year so far - a record it surely can't hold on to for long with GTA 6 on the horizon.
Circana's most interesting report this year is undoubtedly going to be November's, when GTA 6 arrives, but October's should also be eye-opening, because it's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4's release month, the other major release of 2026.
