What an idiotic move. Marvel approaches both, Phil turns him down, while Sony signs a Spider-Man deal which goes on to sell 20m+ copies lifetime, more than any Xbox exclusive sold this past gen. What a poor decision right out the gate by Phil when he took command of the Xbox division in 2014. Hopefully his position has changed since then, now that we've got Bethesda working on Indiana Jones and possibly a Star Wars game as well. 

Sony owns Spider-Man. That's why almost every Spider-Man game has been PS exclusive, not just that one title.

Sony owns the movie rights to Spider-Man. Not anything else. Marvel approached Xbox and Sony about a game. Xbox declined and Insomniac was asked which Marvel character they would like to make a game on, and they chose Spider-Man. And it’s blossomed from there that’s now added Wolverine.
