Did the prediction match what actually happened?

Games like Gnomes & Goblins

A typical game among these

≈ 2k–3k copies

≈ $6k–$14k after Steam's cut

from ~57 reviews

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

1 of the 8 similar games is a hit.

Best case: Green Hell VR at ≈ 31k–51k copies, ≈ $171k–$460k after Steam's cut. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What their first month looked like

About half the games that made it here had over 30 reviews in their first month; the range was 8 to 335.

Games with under about 100 reviews in month one almost never recover.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share VR (8 of 8) and Immersive Sim (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with VR + Survival, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Survival + Adventure + Action; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: Only 1 of the 8 similar games shipped in the last two years. 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 of about 31, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
