All 8 of your similar games are hits.

No genre covers most of your similar games. The closest is FPS (3 of 8), so the genre you lead with is still undecided.

Best case: PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS at ≈ 94.5M–153.6M copies. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on FPS (3 of 8) and Shooter (3 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with FPS + Tactical, priced around $10. The breakout hits carry PvP; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2006 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).
