from 1k reviews (Very Positive)

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

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 2.5M–3.2M
best case 12.0M (VRChat)
The Multiplayer lane

A big, proven genre, though hit-driven: most sell around 2.7M copies, while a few break out far above.

≈ 2.7M copies

A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

7 of your 8 games sit in the typical range; 1 is a breakout hit 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 VR + Free to Play, priced around $12.
  • The breakout hits carry Anime + Memes + Free to Play; a typical game here doesn't.
  • None of the games you compared shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2020. 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.
