The middle of these games

≈ 177k–292k copies

≈ $458k–$1.9M after Steam's cut

from ~5k reviews

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

All 8 of your similar games are hits.

Best case: Soundpad at ≈ 3.6M–5.8M copies, ≈ $4.9M–$13.2M after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Music (6 of 8) and Rhythm (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Music, priced around $12. The breakout hits carry Utilities + Audio Production + Software; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2014 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 70 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
