How many copies did siXide sell?

Estimated copies sold
≈ 74–121
$61–$164 after Steam's cut $111–$253 before the cut
from 3 reviews (3 user reviews)
Thin evidence: 3 reviews. That range swings on one or two people, so read it as a hint, not a measurement.

A labeled estimate from the public review count (adjusted for release year), not exact sales. Owner data cross-checked with SteamSpy.

Does this actually work?

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

≈ 2k–3k copies

≈ $2k after Steam's cut

from ~70 reviews

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

1 of your 8 similar games is a hit.

Best case: Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes at ≈ 164k–266k 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 22 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 2 to 60.
Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.
The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Board Game (7 of 8) and Match 3 (7 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Puzzle + Match 3, priced around $10. The breakout hits carry Strategy + RPG + Turn-Based; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
The games you compared span 2011 to 2021, 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).
