Won't the Wolverine game be a new IP? Or are we again counting that craptastic Wolverine game that came a decade ago as the OG IP?
Why is Insomniac Games Incapable of making a successful new IP?

Spider-Man and Wolverine are Marvel IPs.
Decades old. Not an Insomniac IP. I'm talking about creating new and successful IPs.
Like Guerrilla did with Horizon, or Sucker Punch with Ghost of Tsushima.
Debatable, both their Spiderman and Wolverine games have their own universes, separate to the movie franchises, which had to be created by Insomniac. As you would a new IP.
Who made the spiderman IP in gaming successful again, please remind me? Go check every single Spiderman game since... ever, and find one that sold more. I'll wait.
Don't know the answer to this, but I would honestly love to see them not making comic stuff. I played the spider man games, but they just don't do anything for me, and I couldn't care less about Wolverine. I know this will rub a lot of fans the wrong way but I have as much interest in comic book IPs as I do playing a Care Bears game. It's literally on the same level for me.
Ok that's not entirely true because I wouldn't have bought a Care Bears game but it's close enough ...

This is true, I'd love to see them make a more serious non comic game, absolutely. But I am excited as hell for SM2 and Wolverine.
Resistance was successful enough to get multiple entries, 2 whole sequels
Sunset Overdrive is a really good game that should've had the PlayStation audience to support it
That is an interesting question that challenges Insomniac's team, they have tried with Sunset Overdrive but unfortunately, it didn't succeed & I'd put the blame on Xbox's trash PR & how PS4 overshadowed Xbox One at the time, if Sunset came out on PS4 in those 2016/2017/2018 times, it would've been a successful new IP.
But that's one example, now they have all the ingredients & succeeding factors on their side, I feel like they are wasting it & putting all focus on already proven IPs from Marvel like Spider Man & Wolverine, I'm afraid Sony might turn them into Marvel games production team from now on, that alone would erase their identity as a studio tbh.

I liked most of their games so far and can't relate to the OPs sentiment. Sorry sweetie 
You could argue the opposite:
Why is Xbox as a whole Incapable of making a successful new IP?
Which is yet to be provenExpect the OP to respond by saying Starfield.
But even if turns out to be a good new IP, it was announced long before MS acquisition, so would it really count?
Sunset Overdrive was a victim of Xbox's demographics and the piss poor reception the Xbox got. I don't think trash PR was an issue, it's moreso demographics and a very poor console.
Oh yeah I meant to type that instead of PR, I wasn't accurate, but yes thanks for correcting me.

They topic here is about Insomniac struggling to create a succssful new IP.
Yes I know they made a good selling Ubisoft-open-world Marvel Spidey game.
Tell me you haven't played Spiderman without telling me you haven't played Spiderman.
He didn't play any of them, I'm sure of it.
That's why I asked him to prove it, and he failed miserably.
