Best case: McOsu at ≈ 220k–358k 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 28 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 1 to 304.

Your set
Your set clusters on Rhythm (7 of 8) and Shooter (7 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Rhythm + VR, priced around $30. The breakout hits carry Free to Play + Anime + Difficult; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
The games you compared span 2017 to 2025, and 2 of your 8 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 43 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
