Resident Evil 7 on iPhone is a complete failure.

The highly anticipated iPhone game Resident Evil 7 was sold to fewer than 2,000 users.

According to Tech4Gamers, the mobile gaming market is witnessing an influx of AAA (blockbuster) titles, expected to create a new revolution. However, these games don't seem to be as well-received as anticipated. A prime example is Capcom's Resident Evil 7 , which sold fewer than 2,000 copies in its first two weeks on iOS.

Despite extensive promotion and a free demo, the full version of Resident Evil 7, priced at $20 (approximately 508,000 VND), failed to attract significant interest from iPhone users. Estimated revenue from game sales reached only $28,140, ​​not including Apple's 30% commission.

This failure raises questions about Apple's ability to penetrate the AAA mobile gaming market. Despite the iPhone's powerful hardware, users still seem unwilling to pay for AAA titles on the platform.

The reasons for Resident Evil 7 's failure could stem from several aspects, such as its high price compared to other mobile games, the hardware limitations of the iPhone which couldn't provide the smooth graphics processing and top-notch experience of dedicated gaming consoles. Finally, user habits played a role, as mobile gamers are often accustomed to free or cheaper games.

Meanwhile, traditional mobile games like Candy Crush and Warzone Mobile continue to rake in millions of dollars. This shows that the mobile gaming market still has great potential, but developers need a more suitable approach to attract users.

The failure of Resident Evil 7 could be a lesson for Apple and other developers. To succeed in the mobile gaming market, it's not enough to have a quality product; you also need to understand the needs and habits of your users.
