Disappointing AAA game sales on iPhones and iPads reported as Assassin’s Creed Mirage and Resident Evil fail to attract fans

[Redaktion]

AAA games like Assassin's Creed Mirage and Resident Evil 4/Village have struggled to gain a strong foothold in the iOS market as a recent report has claimed that the titles have not sold well. For instance, users have apparently bought Assassin's Creed Mirage less than 3,000 times since the game's launch.

Possible reasons? Possible reasons?!

Oh, let me think, who wants to pay $50 to play on a Tablet with a crappy controller and a small screen? If any of the executives thought they were making bank with this, then they are braindead.

It should have been $4.99, at the most. It is software right? Copy and paste and costs zero to ship.

To full enjoy the experience, people need a joystick that of course is not included in the handheld. Play serious game in touchscreen is a mess

Now there's one of the problems right there - a 'non mobile/handheld' game on a handheld device.

Sure, sometimes the internal gyro can be used as a movement joystick - other times not so much. Then there's all those 'pesky buttons' gamers are used to that now have to be a touch button on the screen...

YES folks have shelled out large $$ for even Gameboy games (back in the day) so it really is not the form factor that is at fault here.

Then again, if you've already played it on a system that was designed for gaming, why would you get it AGAIN for a phone or tablet?
