Did the prediction match what actually happened?

We hid Disc Creatures and predicted how it would do from its 8 similar games. Every figure here, including Disc Creatures's, is estimated from Steam reviews.

Copies, estimated from reviews

A typical game among these

≈ 126k–208k copies

≈ $1.4M–$3.4M after Steam's cut

from ~5k reviews

Only the top fifth of 2019's Steam releases earned $34k or more before Steam's cut, so plan for that or less.

All 8 of the similar games are hits.

Best case: Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth: Complete Edition at ≈ 384k–625k copies, ≈ $5.3M–$14.2M after Steam's cut.

What their first month looked like

The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share Creature Collector (7 of 8) and JRPG (6 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Creature Collector + JRPG, priced around $50.
When they shipped
None of the similar games shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2022. That says more about which games were found than about the market.
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 43 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
