Does this actually work?

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

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 4.3M–4.8M
best case 24.5M (BeamNG.drive)
The Multiplayer lane

A big, proven genre, though hit-driven: most sell around 4.6M copies, while a few break out far above.

A typical game
≈ 4.6M copies
≈ $22.4M after Steam's cut

A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

4 of your 8 games sit in the typical range; 1 is a breakout hit far above it, and 3 are too small to compare.

Copies and revenue are rough lifetime estimates from the review count; typical figures are medians per column, so they can come from different games.

The lane you'd be entering
  • Winners here lead with Simulation + Driving, priced around $25.
  • The breakout hits carry Driving + Realistic + Automobile Sim; a typical game here doesn't.
  • The games you compared span 2006 to 2021, a lane with a long track record.
  • A typical game here lands in Diamond ($1M+ before Steam's cut, est.). Tiers: Chris Zukowski's benchmark tiers.
