According to an estimate by AppMagic (via mobilegamer.biz), the iOS version of Resident Evil 7 has been purchased by nearly 2,000 users. The calculation comes from marketplace estimates, where this port has been downloaded nearly 83,000 times since its release on July 2. This has generated an estimated $28,140 for Capcom, which by Mobilegamer calculations, is to be around 2,000 users, considering Apple’s 30% platform cut and the $20 cost to unlock the full game.

Even with the low cost of porting $28,000 profit is abysmal.
