Does this actually work?

We left Yakuza 5 Remastered out and predicted the genre from its 8 similar games. Every figure here, including Yakuza 5 Remastered's, is estimated from Steam reviews, not self-reported sales.

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 3.2M–5.6M
best case 6.6M (Grand Theft Auto IV: Complete Edition)
Games like Yakuza 5 Remastered

The middle of these games

≈ 3.2M–5.6M copies

≈ $39.8M–$55.7M after Steam's cut

from ~79k reviews

Only the top fifth of 2019’s Steam releases earned about $34k gross, so plan for that or less.

All 8 of your similar games are hits.

Best case: Grand Theft Auto IV: Complete Edition at ≈ 5.0M–8.1M copies. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What it took to get here
About half the games that made it here had over 32k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 16k to 58k.
The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Crime (8 of 8) and Open World (8 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Open World + Automobile Sim, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Automobile Sim + Adventure + Multiplayer; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
The games you compared span 2008 to 2020, and none of them shipped in the last two years.
How these numbers were worked out

A hit here: 1,000+ reviews, roughly $150k+ before Steam's cut (a standard indie benchmark).

Copies come from each game's reviews times a sales-per-review rate that falls with release age, from about 31 for the most recent game here to about 79 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
