Does this actually work?

Copies, estimated from reviews

typical (middle half) 3.7M–5.4M

The Sandbox lane

A big, proven genre, though hit-driven: most sell around 4.4M copies, while a few break out far above.

A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

5 of your 8 games sit in the typical range; 3 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 Sandbox + Singleplayer, priced around $20.
  • The breakout hits carry Moddable + Singleplayer; 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.
