    It's hard to wrap my head around the fact that 'Marvel's Wolverine' is being hailed as a success despite the scathing reviews it's received.

    You're right, it's a head-scratcher. So, are you saying that the only way a game can be a success is if everyone loves it? Sales numbers and critical reception are two different beasts. A game could be a critical flop but still rake in the dough if it nails the marketing and taps into the right market. You're ignoring the fact that success can mean different things to different people. For publishers, it's all about the bottom line, not the thumbs-up or thumbs-down. So, what's your alternative measure of success for a game that's taken a beating from critics?
