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

Best case: Beat Saber at ≈ 2.2M–3.6M copies, ≈ $12.1M–$32.5M after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Rhythm (8 of 8) and Music (7 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Rhythm, priced around $17. The breakout hits carry Difficult + Female Protagonist + Rogue-like; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2008 to 2022, 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).
