The winners: Winners here lead with Sandbox + Simulation, priced around $20.
The era: The games you compared span 2015 to 2022, and none of them shipped in the last two years.

How these numbers were worked out

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 61 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
