Does this actually work?

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

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 5.3M–7.5M
best case 25.9M (Fallout 4)
The Atmospheric lane

A big, proven genre, though hit-driven: most sell around 5.9M copies, while a few break out far above.

A typical game
≈ 5.9M copies
≈ $94.1M after Steam's cut
from ~129k reviews
Best case
≈ 25.9M copies
Fallout 4 · ≈ $200.4M after Steam's cut
from 426k reviews
A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

6 of your 8 games sit in the typical range; 2 are breakout hits far above it.

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 Open World + Singleplayer, priced around $30.
  • The breakout hits carry Open World + Singleplayer + Post-apocalyptic; a typical game here doesn't.
  • None of the games you compared shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2018. That says more about your picks than about the market, so add newer similar games to read the timing.
  • A typical game here lands in Diamond ($1M+ before Steam's cut, est.). Tiers: Chris Zukowski's benchmark tiers.
